China's Robot Ship
World's First Robotic Ship System For More Accurate Weather Predictions
Launches Small Sounding Rockets to Monitor Atmosphere over Oceans
3/4 of the earth's surface is ocean and studying the atmosphere over them is very difficult and expensive by ship and planes.
Advanced Weather and Atmospheric Monitor
China has built the world's first robotic, partially submersible boat to launch small, sounding rockets to study the atmosphere and weather systems over oceans to provide more accurate forecasts.
Typhoon Patrol
Called an unmanned, semisubmersible vehicle, the boat is designed to sail into bad weather, deploy sounding rocket and gather critical data from the meteorological equipment it carries. The rockets do brief flights through different regions of the atmosphere up to five miles. The system has tested well. China wants to deploy a network of the boats to study typhoons. They also want to equip the boats with advanced sensors to look below the ocean surface as well as above. For more news stories on innovation, go to amazon.com/author/ekane
