text: Saildrone (https://www.saildrone.com) is a state-of-the-art, wind and solar powered unmanned surface vehicle (USV) capable of long distance deployments lasting up to 12 months. The drone is autonomous in that it may be guided remotely from land while being completely wind driven. This novel sampling platform is equipped with a suite of instruments and sensors providing high quality, georeferenced, near real-time, multi-parameter surface ocean and atmospheric observations while transiting at typical speeds of 3-5 knots. Instruments are customizable depending on the mission, but typically include anemometer, barometer, thermosalinograph, CTD, IR pyrometer, fluorometer, and CO2/dissolved oxygen sensors. Saildrones have additionally been deployed with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP), passive acoustic sensors and echo sounders to measure along-track 3D current velocities and biological acoustic backscatter. Saildrone adopts a service model approach to the design and implementation of missions and the delivery of data products to customers. Current deployments include the Tropical and North Pacific, with a focus on future deployments in the Arctic. Data from Saildrone are providing information being used to support NASA satellite cal/val and ocean science studies, including the improvement of salinity and SST retrievals at high latitudes and closer to the coast.
