underwater sensor technology

Underwater sensor technology involves devices that detect and measure physical properties like temperature, pressure, movement, and sound beneath the water's surface. These sensors can be mounted on buoys, autonomous vehicles, or stationary equipment, and use various methods such as acoustic signals or electronic measurements to gather data. This information helps scientists study ocean conditions, monitor marine life, and track environmental changes. Advances include miniaturization, improved durability, and wireless data transmission, enabling continuous, real-time monitoring of underwater environments without disturbing marine ecosystems.
