Six remOcean floats have been successfully deployed by Grigor Obolensky as part of the OISO cruise onboard Research Vessel Marion Dufresne II.

The AtlantOS project (Optimizing and Enhancing the Integrated Atlantic Ocean Observing System) will be funded over 4 years by the EU (Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Framework Programme).

Four remOcean floats have been deployed as part of the South African Agulhas II cruise along the so-called GOODHOPE line.
