Chosen in a competitive bid process, the Falcon was selected as the most powerful and capable ROV of its size, class and depth rating. Greater depth capability of the Falcon DR extends the potential for maintenance and recovery of lost tracking equipment RESEARCH - OCEAN TRACKING NETWORK Cross-Cutting Activity 1: Assimilating animal tracking data with coastal and offshore oceanographic models.Models of the three dimensional, time-varying ocean have a critical role to play in understanding the movement and distribution of marine animals, and also projecting how they will change with warming climate.Such models are used to fill in the gaps between geographically sparse ocean ABOUT - OCEAN TRACKING NETWORK The world’s oceans are vast and cannot be properly described using research vessels only.
