This repository is forked from https://github.com/jack-butler/open-ocean. We have created a release v1.0.0 that corresponds to the list in Butler and Pagniello (2021), where we published an overview of emerging, low-cost ocean observing technologies. This is an experimental and developmental space that will be included in future releases in the original repository.
