“…Autonomous vessels are not only developed and deployed as a means of transport for goods. They are used for environmental and water monitoring (Moulton et al 2018;Berman et al 2020;Chensky et al 2021), to collect marine meteorological measurements (Chen et al 2019a), to monitor and collect data from wetlands (Odetti et al 2018), to make hydrological measurements (Da , to map the underwater bed and collect bathymetric data from inland and coastal environment (Sanfilippo et al 2021;Dohner et al 2022;Marchel et al 2020;Mohd Adam et al 2021) and to perform hydrographic surveys (Stateczny et al 2018).…”

Pilot tests for (semi-)autonomous transport via inland waterways are already taking place in Belgium and other European countries. However, the full commercial implementation of autonomous inland shipping might be hampered by liability issues. The allocation of liability, especially extracontractual liability, is an important concern for shipowners who want to invest in autonomous barges, and for other ecosystem actors. For this reason, a balanced risk distribution framework could boost the investment decision. A legal analysis of the current laws and regulations is necessary to evaluate whether they can be applied to new autonomous systems. The research approach consists of two steps. First, an in-depth literature review is carried out to determine whether extracontractual liability research has already been conducted and to highlight the gaps in autonomous inland waterways transport studies. Once it is proved that the vast majority of the research focuses on technology, it can be affirmed that there is a need to inquire about extracontractual liability. In the second part, thus, the two international Conventions on liability limitation and collision in inland navigation are examined.

“…Meteorological sounding by rockets (rocketsondes) has been utilized in the past for lower and upper stratospheric atmospheric monitoring [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Most current rocket sounding relates to the probing of the upper atmosphere [ 16 , 18 , 19 ]. Rockets provide a simple way to access higher portions of the atmosphere.…”

Measurements of the vertical structure of the lower atmosphere are important to the understanding of air quality. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs, drones) can provide low cost, repeatable measurements of the temperature, pressure, and relative humidity. A set of inexpensive sensors controlled with an Arduino microprocessor board were tested on a UAS against a meteorology grade sensor. Two modes of operation for sampling were tested: a forward moving sampler and a vertical ascent sampler. A small particle sensor (Sensiron SPS30) was integrated and was capable of retrieving vertical aerosol distributions during an inversion event. The thermocouple-based temperature probe and the relative humidity measurement on the Bosch BME280 sensor correlated well with the meteorological sensor. The temperature and relative humidity sensors were then deployed on a rocket sounding platform. The rocket sounding system performed well up to a height of 400 m. The inexpensive sensors were found to perform adequately for low-cost development and uses in education and research.

“…From 2017 to 2020, the USV and USSV have completed dozens of sea tests and trials, and have sailed thousands of kilometers in total. The world's first rocketsonde was launched from the USSV in 2017 (Chen et al, 2019b). The IAP USV is a long-term, rugged, and unmanned autonomous navigation vessel (Fig.…”

The solar-powered marine unmanned surface vehicle (USV) developed by the USV team of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics is a rugged, long-duration, and autonomous navigation vessel designed for the collection of longrange, continuous, real-time, meteorological and oceanographic measurements, especially under extreme sea conditions (sea state 6-7). These solar-powered USVs completed a long-term continuous navigation observation test over 26 days. During this time, they coordinated double-USV observations and actively navigated into the path of Typhoon Sinlaku (2020) before collecting data very close to its center during the 2020 USV South China Sea Typhoon Observation Experiment. Detailed high temporal resolution (1 min) real-time observations collected by the USV on the typhoon were used for operational typhoon forecasting and warning for the first time. As a mobile meteorological and oceanographic observation station capable of reliable, automated deployment, data collection, and transmission, such solar-powered USVs can replace traditional observation platforms to provide valuable real-time data for research, forecasting, and early warnings for potential marine meteorological disasters.
