Applications

The customizable design of Pacific Gyre buoys support a large variety of applications.

Several satellite and cellular systems ensure world-wide coverage. In addition to the array of standard ocean and atmospheric sensors, most standard sensors can be supported.

Circulation Studies

Circulation Studies

Specifically designed for rugged coastal environments, the Microstar drogue centers at 1-5 meters below the surface.

Meteorology

Weather & Climate

The GPS enabled SVP drifters track currents at fixed depths between 5 and 100 meters.

Custom engineering and development

Custom Development

Do you have a need that does not fit the typical mold? Pacific Gyre's engineers can create hardware and communications solutions to fit almost any tracking or measuring need. From custom circuit boards to data collection and presentation, we can build a solid, economical solution.

Other Applications

The many uses for drifting and moored scientific buoys include:

  • Satellite data calibration/validation
  • HF radar calibration/validation
  • Air/sea interaction
  • Climate studies/forecasting
  • Outfall/effluent analysis
  • Oil spill tracking
  • Species boundary/tracking studies
  • Larval dispersion studies
  • Tracking elements in the water (algae/harmful algal blooms, pollutants, chemicals, biological materials, debris, etc.)
