In his testimony before @housescience, Sofar CEO Tim Janssen detailed why the U.S. needs strong public-private partnerships to accelerate the blue economy into an information economy powered by highly accurate marine weather intelligence. Full hearing:

Spotters airdropped ahead of #HurricaneMilton made real-time observations of the storm's extreme conditions. Here we overlay satellite imagery w/Spotter drift tracks. SPOT-31243C passed close to the eye wall, observing max wave heights of 65+ ft. Updates:

8 Spotter buoys were airdropped ahead of #HurricaneMilton today. The buoys will make real-time observations of extreme conditions generated by the storm before landfall. 12 Spotters deployed ahead of Hurricane Helene remain active to the north. Updates:

Spotters airdropped ahead of #HurricaneHelene made real-time observations of extreme conditions in the Cat 4 storm. Here we overlay satellite imagery w/Spotter drift tracks. SPOT-31995C (southernmost track) observed max wave heights of 70+ feet. Updates:

Sofar was featured in @nytimes coverage of #HurricaneHelene, which made landfall as a Cat 4 storm in NW Florida. @AustynGaffney details how Spotter buoys were airdropped in the storm’s path to collect real-time data, which is leveraged by @NHC_Atlantic.

The @USNRL Scientific Development Squadron VXS-1 deployed the Spotters on Tuesday in the Gulf of Mexico, along with microSWIFTs and A-DWSDs, as part of the @thenopp Hurricane Coastal Impacts Project (NHCI). Updates: .📹: Sofar Ocean/NOPP.#HurricaneHelene

13 Sofar Spotter buoys were airdropped ahead of #HurricaneHelene to make real-time observations of the storm. The buoys will measure the most extreme conditions generated by Helene later Thu. One buoy has already seen max wave heights of 45+ feet. Updates:

Our Wayfinder platform uses superior forecasts that assimilate the 1.5m+ daily observations made by our global network of marine weather sensors. These forecasts power Wayfinder's daily guidance, which minimizes a vessel's time spent in adverse weather. Read more in @Mar_Ex.

In our new white paper, we explore how the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, Kyoto University, and Luode Consulting use networks of rapidly deployable and cost-effective sensing systems to make direct ocean observations at scale. Download:

Multiple free-drifting Spotters from Sofar’s global network made direct observations of extreme wave conditions generated by #HurricaneLee, with one buoy recording significant wave heights up to ~42 ft. Learn more about the real-time data collected here:

The National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) @databuoycenter and Sofar Ocean are partnering to advance marine observation, expand access to real-time ocean data, and accelerate environmental monitoring and research. Check out our press release to learn more.

On Tuesday, 9/19 at 1pm ET, join Sofar for a webinar featuring three marine professionals that use regional monitoring networks of our Spotter systems to collect data at scale and power sustainable ocean solutions. Register below ⬇️

Direct observations made by the 10 Spotters airdropped in the path of #HurricaneIdalia are accessible on @USGS' Flood Event Viewer via the Sofar API. Access this critical, public-facing dashboard for extreme event information here:

At that time, Spotter SPOT-30103D (red pentagon) passed particularly close to the storm’s eye wall. To view multiple time series of observations made by SPOT-30103D, visit our Hurricane Idalia webpage: 🧵(2/2)

Early Wednesday morning, 10 airdropped Spotters made direct observations of extreme conditions near the eye wall of #HurricaneIdalia. In the @NOAA satellite image below, we overlay each Spotter's location (yellow pentagons) relative to the storm's position at ~4:40am ET. 🧵(1/2)

10 Spotters have been airdropped in the path of #HurricaneIdalia by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Scientific Development Squadron VXS-1 to bolster hurricane understanding, prediction, and coastal resilience. View the real-time Spotter observations @.
