Measurements of Environmental Parameters
Within EPFL-Rivages project, use of a racing boat to collect environmental data.
The Vendée Globe race passes seldom-visited waters. The preparation and the race itself provides a unique opportunity to collect scientific data. An energy-efficient, autonomous measurement station was developed to allow researchers to complete their data sets without compromising the performance of the boat. EPFL laboratories with extensive experience in the development of energy-efficient autonomous environmental measurement stations were involved in the project.
