DIY Oceanography
In this Oceanography section, contributing authors share all of the relevant information on a homemade sensor, instrument, or software tool(s) so that others can build, or build upon, it. The short articles also showcase how this technology was used successfully in the field.
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS!
Oceanography guest editors Emmanuel Boss and Camille Pagniello seeking contributions to DIY Oceanography. Contributions should include a list of the materials and costs, instructions on how to build, and any blueprints and codes (those could be deposited elsewhere). See Oceanography’s Author Guidelines page for detailed information on submission requirements.
