A cartoon of sensors now installed in the Arctic Ocean. Weather stations (green) sit on the ice. Ice-tethered buoys (yellow boxes) take measurements under the ice. Wave sensors (red) sit on the ice and in open water. Swimming robots (yellow) can travel in open water and below the ice, where they navigate using sound sources (gray boxes).
