Unseasonal Surveying in Midwestern USA with the CEE-USV™

Surveying with the CEE-USV™ at a temperature of 25F (-4C) might not sound too extreme, however when mixed with winds of 25mph gusting to 35-45mph a challenging survey environment is created. In East Grand Forks, Minnesota USA, surveying started early in the season on a medium size effluent lagoon. With ice almost immediately forming on all the equipment owing to the spray and waves, the survey still proceeded without issue. However, maintaining the USV on the survey line was a lot trickier than usual with the extreme wind gusts. Although it was fortunate the on-board camera was not required as the lens was quickly coated with ice! To see the details of this survey, read the NEW CASE HISTORY and watch the video HERE.
