Teaching materials

An illustration showing several instruments observing the ocean: a drifting buoy, a moored platform, an autonomous glider, sensors on the back of a sea turtle, a profiling float, a research vessel with a CTD rosette. Information is sent to a satellite. On the shore, there is a sea level gauge. Two children are studying the water while an adult woman watches over them.
