2022 Arctic Saildrone Cruise Report
Saildrone is a wind and solar powered unmanned surface vehicle (USV) capable of long distance deployments lasting up to 12 months and providing high quality, near real-time, multivariate surface ocean and atmospheric observations while transiting at typical speeds of 3-5 knots. The drone is autonomo...

Saildrone is a wind and solar powered unmanned surface vehicle (USV) capable of long distance deployments lasting up to 12 months and providing high quality, near real-time, multivariate surface ocean and atmospheric observations while transiting at typical speeds of 3-5 knots. The drone is autonomous in that it may be guided remotely from land while being completely wind driven. The 2022 Saildrone Arctic campaign deployed two Saildrone unmanned surface vehicles (USV) during a 60-day cruise in the Bering and Chukchi Sea, from 18 June 2022 to 17 August 2022. The overall mission objective for 2022 was to measure atmospheric and oceanographic conditions in Alaskan arctic waters, specifically in collaboration with the Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO). The Saildrones transited to the Bering Strait, separating after reaching Point Hope, AK. SD-1041 then made repeat transects from Point Hope southwestward to near the International Date Line and back again, along DBO line #3.
