Wave Glider-based communications hotspot
One of the major themes of MBARI’s current research is the increasing dependence on real-time data for informed decision-making during the course of field experiments.

Wave-Power Buoy
The power buoy has been in development for since 2009, and has been deployed and recovered six times over the past four years. Modifications after each deployment have increased the power buoy’s efficiency and the amount of time it can spend out in the ocean.
Long-range autonomous underwater vehicle Tethys
The range and endurance of the new long-range AUV (LRAUV) greatly expands the types of observations and experiments possible with autonomous platforms. For instance, one of the institute’s AUVs carries a comprehensive suite of sensors out to MBARI’s M2 mooring and back.

About MBARI
Research programs at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) encompass the entire ocean, from the surface waters to the deep seafloor, and from the coastal zone to the open sea. The need to understand the ocean in all its complexity and variability drives MBARI's research and development efforts.
