En meteorología, una depresión se refiere a una zona de baja presión en la atmósfera, caracterizada por el ascenso del aire, la formación de nubes y, a menudo, asociada a condiciones meteorológicas inestables como lluvia, vientos fuertes y tormentas. Las depresiones, también llamadas ciclones en términos meteorológicos, se forman cuando el aire cálido y húmedo asciende, provocando una caída de la presión atmosférica. Estos sistemas son comunes en latitudes medias y suelen atravesar océanos y continentes, influyendo en los patrones meteorológicos y afectando las condiciones de navegación.
Comprender las depresiones es esencial para los navegantes, ya que los sistemas de baja presión pueden provocar cambios meteorológicos rápidos y severos, que afectan la visibilidad, la dirección del viento y el estado del mar. El estudio
A las 8:00 a. m. del 24 de noviembre, el centro de la depresión tropical se encontraba aproximadamente a 9,5 grados de latitud norte y 128,4 grados de longitud este. Se pronostica que, en los próximos uno o dos días, la depresión tropical se desplazará en dirección oeste-noroeste a una velocidad de unos 20 km/h.
Entre la noche del 25 y la madrugada del 26 de noviembre, la depresión tropical penetrará en el Mar del Este. El 26 de noviembre, cuando se encuentre
Hydro International
Exail, together with its partner Thesta, has delivered a DriX H-8 uncrewed surface vessel (USV) to Orlen Petrobaltic. This marks the very first commercial deployment of DriX in Poland, where the complex maritime environment of the Baltic Sea demands innovative and resilient solutions for offshore operations.
The Exail’s DriX H-8 USV is known for its robustness, endurance and ability to deliver high-quality hydrographic and geophysical data. With its autonomous capabilities and ability to operate in challenging offshore conditions, the DriX H-8 offers a safer, more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional crewed vessels.
Orlen Petrobaltic will deploy the DriX H-8 in the Baltic Sea to support offshore platform activities. For this project, the DriX H-8 will be equipped with

Lidar + Sonar = a revolution in seafloor mapping
How the ambitious Florida Seafloor Mapping Initiative is setting the standard for our understanding of coastal environments
By Ryan Cross, Dave Neff, Karen Hart • October 14, 2025
Beneath the sunlit waves of Florida lies an intricate underwater world that few have seen but many depend on. Through the Florida Seafloor Mapping Initiative, Woolpert and partners are capturing this hidden landscape in unprecedented detail. Using aircraft, ships and uncrewed vessels equipped with Lidar and sonar, they have mapped tens of thousands of square kilometres despite hurricanes and rough seas. The resulting seafloor model will enhance navigation, habitat protection and coastal resilience while deepening understanding of Florida’s marine environment.
There are few regions of the United States as defined by or as
