State-of-the-art wind and solar powered unmanned surface vehicles, called Saildrone, were deployed during the NASA SPURS-2 field campaign to study a low-salinity, high precipitation region in the eastern tropical Pacific.

After more than 11 years in orbit, the Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM) on Jason-2 will permanently cease acquisition of scientific data on 1 October 2019 due to aging-related issues onboard the spacecraft.
