Saildrone was named to TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies for 2024. The list includes leaders, disrupters, innovators, and titans like Anthropic, Nvidia, Amazon, and Intel, among others! “Powered mostly by wind and solar energy, the USVs—which do, in fact, look like small robotic sailboats—are packed with sensors gathering atmospheric and ocean data for everything from measuring dangerous weather events to saving the whales (from harm by ships and construction), and can stay unattended for up to a year...'We do a bit of everything, and you can often do many things at the same time,' said CEO Richard Jenkins."

Hurricane Beryl was the earliest Cat 5 storm on record. NOAA Research reports on the value of teamwork and technology when it comes to better understanding hurricanes.🤝 Saildrone Explorer SD-1041 was deployed early to intercept the edge of the storm. Stat tuned—Saildrone and NOAA's Atlantic Hurricane mission begins August 7! 🌀 Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) https://lnkd.in/gH2QHHNV

Saildrone was at Women Impact Tech last week, where our director of technical program management, Sarah Parker, spoke on a panel discussing responsible tech.💪👏 If you're interested in making an ocean data #impact, check out our open positions at https://lnkd.in/dGNRgbX
I want to share a quick thank you 🙏 to the Women Impact Tech conference for having me as a panelist last week for Saildrone! It was a great feeling being amongst so many women in tech -- the energy and enthusiasm for the work we all do was powerful. I am so grateful for all of the connections I made and look forward to seeing what happens next with all! (thanks for your all's patience in me responding to messages!) It was truly an inspiring event! The women I was lucky enough to be on the panel with are total rockstars 👩🎤 and I loved the feedback that it seemed like "we were a team" on stage. Heck yeah! I have a feeling this just might be the kickoff of something else great to come from said "team"... Just what will happen when you get a group of motivated women leaders together......... 🤔 Ramyata Mehrotra, Alexa Witowski, Ashleigh Rogers, Harshita Lall ❤️

Saildrone and NOAA kicked off the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Mission early this year, with Saildrone Explorer SD-1041 intercepting the edge of Hurricane Beryl about 100 nm south of Puerto Rico. As it approached the northern edge of the then category 5 hurricane, SD-1041 experienced increased windspeeds and significant wave height, along with a decrease in pressure and several rapid decreases in air temperature from associated rain bands. Data snapshot of the intercept: 📉Lowest pressure measured: 1009.67 hPa 🌊Largest sustained waves observed: 7.79 m 💨Strongest winds measured: 43.6 kts sustained, gusts 53.48 kts SD-1041 is one of 12 Explorers in the mission this summer to do hurricane research this season. Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) NOAA Research Note: The wind gusts stated in this video were actually 34.78 kn. The sustained winds were 28.4 kn.

Happy World Hydrography Day! Seabed 2030 announced that 26.1% of the ocean is now mapped, and Saildrone is a proud supporter of the ongoing global effort to map it all! Advancements in ocean mapping are critical to improving our knowledge of Earth’s seas and oceans.🌊 #WorldHydrographyDay2024
📢JUST ANNOUNCED: Flagship #OceanDecade initiative Seabed 2030 announces latest ocean floor mapping progress on #WorldHydrographyDay. The latest figure of 26.1% mapped is a testament to the continuous efforts and advancements in seafloor mapping technologies and activities. This global effort to uncover the Earth’s final frontier has also made remarkable marine discoveries possible, from the characterisation of the largest known deep-sea coral reef habitat off the southeast U.S. coast by NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration to the groundbreaking discovery of four underwater mountains by Schmidt Ocean Institute.
