Request For Information - Temperature from Depth

Early market engagement to request information. The Met Office open ocean buoy network operates in the north Atlantic delivering regular meteorological measurements for forecasting and science. The buoys are in depths of 650m to 4500m and, as standard, report measurements every hour. The world's oceans hold a vast amount of energy in the form of heat. Measuring temperature profiles at our moored buoy locations will increase our understanding of the current state of the ocean, leading to better ocean and weather forecasts, particularly in the region around the UK. The profiles will also help to quantify and understand longer term changes in our oceans and climate. We would like to…
