Hi all,
This is a bit of an unusual request - I'm looking to deploy a few scientific sensors in the mid-Pacific between now and March, 2020. These floating buoys will be part of a research project to measure ocean waves, wind and currents in the open ocean, with the goal of using the data to improve safety at sea (among other things). If anyone is planning a transpacific crossing during that time period, it would be a huge help if we could send a few of the buoys with you to deploy on your route.
The sensors are small and lightweight (about the size of a basketball) and can be deployed by hand, buy just throwing the buoy overboard. We cover all costs for the sensor including shipping, so there is no additional costs involved. We are targeting most of the open ocean regions (e.g. >200nm offshore) so any route would be useful. Thanks!
