Undersea Vehicles

Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned undersea vehicles,

Along with breakthroughs in satellite technology and computer equipment,

Have overcome some of the limitations of divers and diving equipment

For scientists doing research on the great oceans of the world. But today,

Most oceanographers prefer to reduce the risk to human life and make direct

Observations by means of instruments that are lowered into the ocean, from

Samples taken from the water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites.

Direct observations of the ocean floor can be made not only by divers

But also by deep-diving submarines in the water and even by the technology

Of aerial photography from vantage points above the surface of the water.

Maps created from satellite pictures can represent the temperature and the

Colour of the ocean’s surface, enabling researchers to study the ocean currents

From laboratories on dry land. Furthermore, computers help oceanographers

To collect, organize, and analyse data from submarines and satellites.

Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and

Computers than on research ships or even submarine vehicles because they

Can supply a greater range of information more quickly and more effectively.
