Operation of Autonomous Ocean Vehicle.

Operation of Autonomous Ocean Vehicle.

The Japan Coast Guard started using Autonomous Ocean Vehicles (AOV) for oceanographic observations in 2016 and has greatly improved its operations from then on. For example, it has established a recovery method based on its survey vessels and found an effective paint to prevent marine biofouling for long-term observation. Recently, it has succeeded in the acquisition of precious oceanographic data in the near center of typhoons and Kuroshio Current. In this paper, we provide an overview of the Japan Coast Guard’s efforts related to AOV operations and present some results of our observations.
