A gen6 Saildrone USV was launched from Alameda, CA with a shorter, 'hurricane wing' and the standard saildrone sensor suite on November 8, 2020. It reached its operating area off the coast of Washington on December 4, 2020. On December 19, 2020, it started to experience rudder issues was was inoperable. It was recovered in Gray's Harbor in Washington for repairs and was redeployed on February 18, 2021. The mission was ended on March 19, 2021.The objectives of this mission was to test the new, ruggedized wing in storms in the Pacific and to provide near real time observations to forecast centers. The USV sailed in close proximity to gliders operated by the University of Washington.

NOAA/PMEL 2019 Arctic Saildrone Mission, drone 1033

Six saildrones (sd-1033, sd-1034, sd-1035, sd-1036, sd-1037 and sd-1041) - remotely piloted, solar- and wind-powered unoccupied surface vehicles (USVs) - were launched near Dutch Harbor, Alaska, USA (53.95�N, 166.50�W) into the Bering Sea on 15 May 2019. This 2019 Arctic Saildrone Mission was a joint effort betweenNOAA�s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) and Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC), the NOAA/University of Washington Joint Institute for the Study of the Ocean and Atmosphere (Joint Institue for the Study of Atmoshere and Ocean (JISAO)), and the National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) Arctic MISST (Multi-sensor Improved Sea Surface Temperature) study. The overall mission objective was to measure atmospheric, oceanographic, fishery and fur seal conditions in the US arctic. One USV (sd-1041) remained in the Bering Sea measuring fish acoustic backscatter and conducting focal follows of threatened fur seals for AFSC. Five saildrones transited Bering Strait into the Chukchi Sea. One of those (sd-1033) surveyed lines in Distributed Biological Observatories (DBO) 1-5. The remaining four (PMEL sd-1034, sd-1035 and MISST sd-1036, sd-1037) ran transects in the Chukchi Sea and approached the southern sea ice edge in the Arctic Ocean up to ~75�N to measure air-sea heat and momentum flux near sea ice and to validate satellite sea-surface temperature measurements in the arctic. Each saildrone was equipped to measure solar irradiance, air temperature and relative humidity, barometric pressure, surface skin temperature, wind speed and direction, wave height and period, seawater temperature and salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence, and dissolved oxygen. Four cameras aboard each USV imaged up, down, port and starboard of the wing. Saildrones sd-1033 and sd-1034 had Autonomous Surface Vehicle CO2 (ASVCO2) systems measuring seawater pH, temperature, salinity and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2). Vehicles sd-1033, sd-1034, sd-1035, sd-1036 and sd-1037 measured near surface currents with 300 kHz acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP). Sd-1041 carried Simrad WBT Mini and ES38-18/200-18C fisheries echosounders. There were about two dozen encounters with free-floating sea ice between the four Chukchi Sea/Arctic Ocean saildrones. Sd-1035 was caught in sea ice and rendered barely maneuverable with rudder damage about 24 August. Its mission ended early on 10 September after which it was towed into Point Barrow. The remaining saildrones sampled Bering Sea transects and returned to Dutch Harbor on 11 October after sailing side-by-side for a few hours on an end-of-mission comparison. Other supporting measurements were made during this mission. The PMEL/WHOI/JISAO Arctic Heat Open Science Experiment dropped AXBTs on 16-22 July. USCGC Healy met sd-1033 on 11 August for a pCO2 cross-calibration. Sd-1034 and sd-1035 sailed near the sites of periodic surfacings of Marine Robotic Vehicles (MRV) Air-Launched Autonomous Micro-Observer (ALAMO) float 9234. Sd-1036 followed a University of Washington Applied Physics Lab Seaglider in a bow-tie pattern near 73N, 148W in August.

This file contains near-real time data from the Saildrone core sensors for the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2018 Mission (Mission 2) to the central equatorial Pacific (0, 140W). These data have not been Quality Control (QC)?d.  This was the second of three missions funded by NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR)/CPO/OOMD and NOAA/OMAO as a pilot study for the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS)-2020 project. The PIs were Dr. Meghan Cronin (NOAA PMEL), Dr. Dongxiao Zhang (UW Joint Institue for the Study of Atmoshere and Ocean (JISAO)), Dr. Adrienne Sutton (NOAA PMEL), and Mr. Christian Meinig (NOAA PMEL). Mr. Nathan Anderson contributed to the metadata creation. PMEL TPOS 2018 Mission (aka Mission 2) had four Saildrones: SD1005 and SD1006 were Gen 4 drones, and SD1029 and SD1030 were Gen 5 drones equipped with a larger wing designed for equatorial work.  The drones were each equipped with full atmospheric and ocean core sensor suite, and an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) (not included in this file). SD1029 & SD1030 also carried shortwave and longwave radiation (included in core set) and an ASVCO2 carbon flux and pH system; these carbon data are served in a separate file. SD1029 had 3 strap-on SBE56 temperature sensors (at 0.35m, 1.16m, and 1.72m) to study the near-surface stratification. For the Gen5 drones, the core Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) was an RBR located in the flowthrough tunnel in the keel. The carbon system also had an independent prawler CTD that is higher quality than the RBR. The vehicles were deployed out of Honolulu, HI on October 3, 2018. After sailing near a PMEL Carbon mooring in Kaneohe Bay, HI, the drones proceeded to the Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) mooring at 9N, 140W. Three drones completed a circuit around the mooring, and then began their transit south towards the equator. Two drones made it to the equator and sailed near the TAO moorings at 0, 140W.  Navigation issues caused the mission to be aborted early (mid-December 2018), before further science tasks could be completed. Three Saildrones were recovered in Honolulu on 01-27-19. SD1030 was recovered in HI later in the spring of 2019.

NOAA NWFSC West Coast Survey 2018 NRT Saildrone 1024

The 2018 West Coast Fisheries Survey is the first time autonomous wind and solar-powered vehicles have been used to gather essential data on fish populations. Five saildrones traveled more than 18,500 nautical miles over 100 days along the US west coast. Four of the saildrones duplicated the path of the NOAA research vessel Reuben Lasker collecting data on sardine, anchovy, and hake, one of the West Coast's most valuable commercial fisheries. The fifth saildrone collected data close to shore in areas too shallow for the ship to safely navigate.

The PMEL TPOS 2017 Mission (aka Mission 1) had two Gen-4 Saildrones, each with a full atmospheric and ocean core sensor suite, an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), and an ASVCO2 carbon flux and pH system. The two drones were deployed out of Alameda, CA on September 1, 2017 for a mission in the equatorial Pacific.  After sailing near the CCE1 mooring off coastal California, the drones proceeded to the area near 10N, 125W.  They remained in the area from October 18 - November 13, 2017 to participate in the Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study (SPURS)-2 field study, which included side-by-side data acquisition with a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) buoy, and the R/V REVELLE.  When SPURS-2 ended, the drones sailed south on either side of 125W, stopping for comparisons against Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) moorings at 8N, 5N, and 2N.  After crossing the equator, the drones returned to California.  SD-1005 was recovered in San Luis Obispo Bay on May 6, 2018.  SD-1006 was recovered from San Francisco Bay on May 18, 2018.

This file contains data from the Saildrone Inc. Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) (i.e., "saildrone") core MetOcean sensors for the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2023 Mission (Mission 6) to the central tropical Pacific along the 155°W meridian, west along the equator, and returning north roughly along the 170°W meridian. These data have not been Quality Control (QC)'d.  This mission was funded by NOAA OMAO UxSOC and the UMS 2022 project to implement the Research to Operations - Component Service Transition Plan Volume 1-C "Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USV) integrated within the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS)". This TPOS-2023 mission, focused on observing air-sea interaction processes and CO2 fluxes associated with the developing 2023 El Nino, an equatorial upwelling experiment near 0°N 153.5°W, a comparison with R/V Antea near 0°N 166°W, and several National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoy flybys.  A pre-mission comparison against the WHOTS mooring was also conducted from May 30 - June 2, 2023.  The PIs were Dr. Meghan Cronin (NOAA PMEL), Dr. Dongxiao Zhang (UW Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (UW CICOES)), Dr. Adrienne Sutton (NOAA PMEL), Dr. Samantha Wills (UW/CICOES), Dr. Réka Domokos (NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) Ecosystem Services Division (ESD)), Karen Grissom (NOAA NDBC), Eugene Burger (NOAA PMEL), Yolande Serra (UW CICOES), Dr. Arun Kumar (NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)), Dr. Jack Reeves Eyre (NOAA NCEP and ERT), and Jieshun Zhu (NOAA NCEP). Mr. Nathan Anderson (UW CICOES) contributed to the metadata creation.  The PMEL TPOS 2023 Mission (aka Mission 6) had three Saildrones: SD1030, SD1033, and SD1079.  All were standard Gen 6 drones with the core MetOcean package and an ASVCO2 Gen2 carbon flux system.  SD1030 and SD1033 were equipped with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) at 1.86m (not included in this file) and SD1079 with an EK80 echo sounder.  The collaboration with NMFS facilitated the addition of the echo sounder to explore the value of combining physical and fish biomass surveys of the Pacific Islands Regions, with the collaboration's goal of connecting the life cycle with the energy, water, and carbon cycles to improve ecosystem forecasts within Earth system models.  The core Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) sensor was an SBE 37-SMP at 1.7m, and a temperature logger RBR Coda^3 T at 0.5m, with 3x PMEL-provided self-logging SBE56 Temperature sensors at 0.355m, 0.775m, and 1.155m.  All drones had a PMEL-provided SPN1 shielded shortwave radiometer and a Kipp and Zonen longwave radiometer.  Carbon system data (including the CTD data) are served through a separate file.  EK80 data will also be provided as a separate file.  The vehicles for the 2023 mission were deployed out of Honolulu, HI in June 2023, arriving on station (near 18°N 155°W) to initiate the mission on 22 June 2023.  The 120-day mission was extended to 05 Nov 2023, because SD1030 went off-mission early (12 Sept 2023) due to navigational issues.

This file contains near-real time data from the Saildrone core sensors for the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2018 Mission (Mission 2) to the central equatorial Pacific (0, 140W). These data have not been Quality Control (QC)?d.  This was the second of three missions funded by NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR)/CPO/OOMD and NOAA/OMAO as a pilot study for the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS)-2020 project. The PIs were Dr. Meghan Cronin (NOAA PMEL), Dr. Dongxiao Zhang (UW Joint Institue for the Study of Atmoshere and Ocean (JISAO)), Dr. Adrienne Sutton (NOAA PMEL), and Mr. Christian Meinig (NOAA PMEL). Mr. Nathan Anderson contributed to the metadata creation. PMEL TPOS 2018 Mission (aka Mission 2) had four Saildrones: SD1005 and SD1006 were Gen 4 drones, and SD1029 and SD1030 were Gen 5 drones equipped with a larger wing designed for equatorial work.  The drones were each equipped with full atmospheric and ocean core sensor suite, and an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) (not included in this file). SD1029 & SD1030 also carried shortwave and longwave radiation (included in core set) and an ASVCO2 carbon flux and pH system; these carbon data are served in a separate file. SD1029 had 3 strap-on SBE56 temperature sensors (at 0.35m, 1.16m, and 1.72m) to study the near-surface stratification. For the Gen5 drones, the core Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) was an RBR located in the flowthrough tunnel in the keel. The carbon system also had an independent prawler CTD that is higher quality than the RBR. The vehicles were deployed out of Honolulu, HI on October 3, 2018. After sailing near a PMEL Carbon mooring in Kaneohe Bay, HI, the drones proceeded to the Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) mooring at 9N, 140W. Three drones completed a circuit around the mooring, and then began their transit south towards the equator. Two drones made it to the equator and sailed near the TAO moorings at 0, 140W.  Navigation issues caused the mission to be aborted early (mid-December 2018), before further science tasks could be completed. Three Saildrones were recovered in Honolulu on 01-27-19. SD1030 was recovered in HI later in the spring of 2019.

Mr. Nathan Anderson (UW/CICOES) contributed to the metadata creation.  The PMEL TPOS 2021 Mission (aka Mission 4) had two Saildrones: SD1065 and SD1066.  Both were standard Gen 6 Explorer drones, with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) at 1.86m (not included in this file) and the core MetOcean package.  The core CTD was an SBE 37-SMP at 1.54m, with an auxiliary SBE prawler at 0.62m and 3x SBE56 T sensors at 0.33m, 0.5m, and 1.03m.  Both SD1065 and SD1066 had an ASVCO2 carbon flux and pH system, an SPN1 shielded shortwave radiometer, and an Eppley longwave radiometer.  Carbon system data (including its prawler Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) data) are served through a separate file. The vehicles for the 2021 mission were deployed out of San Francisco Bay, CA on 23 July 2021, transiting to the eastern tropical Pacific, where they spent 160 days collecting data. The drones encountered rough seas associated with Tropical Depression Marty, forcing them into "storm mode" for several days before entering the hurricane genesis study region. The drones then proceeded south along the 110W Tropical Atmosphere/Ocean (TAO) mooring line, completing two intercomparisons at the 8N, 110W and 5N, 110W TAO buoys. The drones also sampled the strong meridional Sea Surface Temperature (SST) front separating the warm waters of the northern hemisphere ITCZ from the cold waters of the equatorial Cold Tongue. The drones became separated en route to the equatorial study region due to strong easterly ocean currents, with SD1065 eventually crossing the Equator to survey the southern hemisphere "double" ITCZ regime.  The mission ended in the field on 17 February, 2022, with SD1065 positioned near 8S, 117W and SD1066 positioned near 1N, 130W

This file contains data from the Saildrone Inc. Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV), aka "saildrone", core MetOcean sensors for the NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) TPOS 2021 Mission (Mission 4) to the eastern tropical Pacific hurricane genesis region near 10N - 15N, 110W, the near-equatorial Cold Tongue region between 110W - 125W, and the region south of the equator where an Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) sometimes forms. These data have not been Quality Control (QC)'d.  This mission was funded in part by NOAA/OMAO and NOAA/National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) as a demonstration project to test saildrone as a research and operational platform for the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS).

NOAA NWFSC West Coast Survey 2019 NRT Saildrone 1038

The 2019 West Coast Fisheries Survey combined the efforts of eight saildrones and research teams onboard the NOAA FSVs Bell M. Shimada and Reuben Lasker to survey the full length of the US West Coast from San Diego, CA, to Cape Flattery, WA. The mission was performed in partnership with NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) and Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC). The saildrones were all equipped with Simrad EK80 echo sounders in addition to the standard sensor suite. Four vehicles worked south to north with the Shimada collecting data on the abundance and distribution of Pacific hake. Three vehicles worked north to south with the Lasker and included sampling closer to shore and farther offshore than previous years. The goal was to collect data on target species in areas too shallow for the Lasker to safely navigate, as well as in offshore areas that have not been routinely surveyed to date. The mission was completed in 60 days and included more granular coverage near shore, to depths as shallow as seven meters, as well as transect extensions up to 140 nautical miles offshore.
