The Air-Deployed Microbuoy (ADMB) is an in situ buoy sensor that is deployed from uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). It consists of three thermistors that measure sea surface temperature and subsurface water temperature at 1 m and 2 m depths. The UAS retrieves the data as it flies over the buoy using the 900 MHz radio receiver within the ADMB. ADMB samples data at a rate of 1 Hz and has an operational lifetime of around 10 days, depending on the conditions.
