| Abstract | Current ocean sensing platforms are constrained by high costs, limited scalability, and insufficient data resolution—particularly for capturing submesoscale ocean dynamics that are vital for understanding ocean mixing and climate. This project proposes the development of CALANOID, a modular, low-cost, air-deployable ocean profiling float system, designed to enable dense, distributed in-situ observations. This project fosters collaboration between industry and academia and supports workforce deve |
