The Balloon Division in CNES is currently developing an autonomous vehicle called "AEROCLIPPER" which provides simultaneous ocean-surface and air measurements, over large distances, notably in zones where classical systems are rather scarce such as the Pacific Ocean, the Southern Seas, the South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean. A test campaign to validate the AEROCLIPPER concept took place from the island of Madeira (Portugal) in June 2000. The preliminary results show that the vehicle is able to cover some 6000 kilometres in distance, to endure a life duration of 2 weeks and to withstand 10 meters per second of surface wind speed. Within the VASCO project from the LMD (Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique), several AEROCLIPPERs will be used as a means of in situ measurements during experimental campaigns in the Indian Ocean (2002-2003).
