Oceanographic Instrumentation

Oceanographic instrumentation refers to specialized tools and devices used by scientists to study the ocean’s physical, chemical, biological, and geological properties. These instruments can measure parameters such as water temperature, salinity, current flows, and environmental conditions. They include buoys, underwater robots (ROVs), sensor arrays, sonar systems, and deep-sea probes. By deploying these tools, researchers gather essential data to understand ocean processes, monitor climate change, and protect marine ecosystems. The instruments are designed to operate reliably in harsh underwater environments and often transmit data remotely for analysis.
