When viewed from\u00a0just the right position in space<\/a>, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to think that our home planet is anything but a water world. And in all the ways that count, you\u2019d be right; there\u2019s almost nothing that goes on on dry land that isn\u2019t influenced by the oceans. No matter how far you are away from an ocean, what\u2019s going on there really matters.<\/p>\n

But how do we know what\u2019s going on out there? The oceans are trackless voids, after all, and are deeply inhospitable to land mammals such as us. They also have a well-deserved reputation for eating anything that ventures into them at the wrong time and without the proper degree of seafarer\u2019s luck, and they also tend to be places where the resources that run our modern technological society are in short supply.<\/p>\n

Gathering data about the oceans is neither cheap nor easy, but it\u2019s critically important to everything from predicting what the weather will be next week to understanding the big picture of what\u2019s going on with the climate. And that requires a fleet of data buoys, outnumbering the largest of the world\u2019s navies and operating around the clock, keeping track of wind, weather, and currents for us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
