Investigation and design of drift buoy system applied in ocean environment data collection

Abstract

Drifting buoys are widely used in the world to measure oceanographic and environmental parameters. Key science and technology program at ministerial level of Natural Resources and Environment: “Research, innovation, design and manufacture of specialized equipment for a basic investigation of natural resources and environment, and waste treatment in the period 2021-2025” has built the Project of research, design and manufacture drift buoys to collect marine data, Code: TNMT.202103.02. The content of this paper is part of the projective research results to describe case studies on solutions to calculate, design and manufacture drift buoys suitable to Vietnamese conditions on the basis of comparing technical specifications with commercial drifting buoy systems in the world.
