The project of “Development of ocean current mapping and seawater surface temperature study through the use of current mapper buoys and satellite tracking” aims to conduct scientific study of the ocean covering temperature and currents at the seawater surface through the use of current mapper buoys equipped with temperature sensor with location tracking by satellite technology. This project has been initiated under the collaboration between PTTEP, the Hydro-Informatics Institute (HII) and Kasetsart University. Results of the study shall be used as the key inputs for various ocean conservation and emergency plans and early warning system as well as the enhancement of ocean mathematical models such as marine debris dispersion prediction, climate change impact monitoring, potential impact to ecosystem and its human use prediction etc.
