Live Event - Around the Americas SWIFT Buoy Deployment Program

The Surface Wave Instrument Float with Tracking (SWIFT) is a free drifting system to measure waves, winds, turbulence, and ambient noise at the ocean surface. Students can track this buoy for up to a month’s worth of data.

Around The Americas SWIFT Buoy Deployment Program sponsored by Sailors for the Sea Powered by Oceana and partnered with the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Lab.

This sponsorship allows several schools to engage in the buoy drop, live classroom time with the crew from sailing vessel One Ocean and broadcasted through their live education platform - Exploring By the Seat of Your Pants education platform.
