??Follow our infiniTE? float in the Gulf of Mexico! With 79 profiles in just a few weeks, the float's path indicates a strong coastal current following the bathymetry. As it continues its journey, the float is currently positioned northwest of #HurricaneMilton, gathering critical subsurface data in real time. Stay tuned as we continue to navigate through #HurricaneSeason2024. #hurricane #rapidintensification #OceanData #robotics

??Our infiniTE? Float is profiling to 500 meters every six hours. Warm waters in the upper 100 meters are providing plenty of "fuel" for the #rapidintensification of #HurricaneHelene.??? Stay tuned for developments in the coming hours. Stay safe. #HurricaneSeason2024 #Hurricane

??Since deploying off the coast of Destin, FL last Friday, our infiniTE? Float has profiled 23 times at a depth up to 500 meters, reporting temps over 25°C (77°F) at 55 meters—key conditions for #hurricane #rapidintensification. #HurricaneSeason2024 #HurricaneHelene #Florida #meteorology #floridaweather

?? Our infiniTE? float is just west of #HurricaneHelene’s forecasted track, deployed 100 miles off Destin, FL in 1000m+ deep waters. It’s following a cyclonic circulation pattern parallel to the topographic contours. We expect major data changes as the #hurricane passes through the float's location. #HurricaneSeason2024

?? So proud of the SEATREC team for making this vision a reality! Kudos to all of you: Yi Chao, Michael Zedelmair, Robin Willis, Joshua Laney, David Christian, Celeste West, Grant Thomas, Richard M. Lopez, and Marta Bulaich. Special thanks to Versatyle Design, Inc., Baochi Nguyen, and Sean Yokomizo for your support over the years.

??We're in Halifax at the OCEANS Conference! Visit our CEO/Founder Yi Chao at Booth 223 to learn how our infiniTE? Float is powering up ocean data collection - from seafloor mapping to soundscape monitoring! #oceans24 #thermalenergy #climate

?? Honored to receive the 2024 Marine Technology Society (MTS) Compass Organizational Excellence Award! This prestigious recognition celebrates outstanding contributions to marine science and technology. ?? At SEATREC, we are proud to be at the forefront of innovation with our patented technology that harvests energy from ocean temperature differences. This advancement powers autonomous profiling floats with unlimited endurance, revolutionizing ocean data collection. Our efforts aim to make it possible to map the global seafloor within this decade while also creating new possibilities for soundscape monitoring and improving hurricane predictions. #MarineTechnology #OceanScience #DataCollection #HurricanePrediction #MTSCompassAward?#autonomousfloats #seafloormapping #soundscape

?? Kudos to the SEATREC team for successfully launching this mission in the Gulf of Mexico! While there have been improvements in #hurricane tracking and forecasting, predicting the rapid intensification of hurricanes remains a challenge, particularly in a changing climate. More frequent and accurate data will be key to addressing this issue. The ocean-powered infiniTE? Float is designed to collect an order of magnitude more data than current methods, solving the power bottleneck for acquiring more data. #RapidIntensification #HurricaneSeason2024 #Climate
