What are sensors?
Marine sensors are instruments that measure physical, chemical and biological properties of the ocean, such as temperature, salinity, oxygen and nutrients. Sensors are fitted to autonomous platforms to collect high-quality data in a range of marine environments.
What do sensors offer?
Marine sensors collect measurements that tell us about ocean conditions and processes, either by measuring them directly or by providing clues that help us understand them.
Case studies
How do sensors fit into the FMRI vision?
FMRI’s vision is to use a wide range of marine sensors that work together to provide reliable data about the ocean. This data will help scientists deepen our understanding of the marine environment and support smarter decisions to protect it and use marine resources responsibly. By developing new sensors that can operate on autonomous platforms, FMRI will also create new opportunities for UK industry, driving economic growth.
