WHAT OUR USERS ARE SAYING

"The changes that are occurring in the environment are so rapid, innovative methods for collecting data, such as those that Saildrone is providing and evolving, are more important than ever."

Robert Foy
Science and research director of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center

"Coastal upwelling and western boundary currents are two critical areas of the world's oceans associated with small scale mesoscale (<100km) and submesoscale (<10km) features. Saildrone will provide a powerful tool for understanding how best to apply satellite-derived products in these critical areas of the world's oceans."

Jorge Vazquez
Research scientist at NASA's Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC)

"Saildrone provides a lot of information about sub-pixel variability and where it's high and where it's low because it measures at such a fine spatial resolution. When you're trying to understand how fronts affect weather and fluxes between the ocean and the atmosphere, resolving those fronts with the highest resolution is really important."
