+- Open-source **VirtualShip** software provides scientists with an authentic experience of sea-going research anywhere in the global ocean.
+- Simulates measurements in a _digital_ ocean as if they are coming from real-life oceanographic instruments
+    - Including CTDs, ADCPs, Drifters, Argo floats, and more.

+- VirtualShip is a powerful tool for:
+    - **Research** (testing new instrument designs, sampling strategies, OSSEs, etc.)
+
+:::{.callout-note}
+Today, I am talking about the VirtualShip *software*. We also run the **VirtualShip Classroom**, which incorporates educational resources and VR to build an authentic learning experience for students (at UU and soon beyond).

+    - Lagrangian trajectory framework
+    - Instruments have behaviours via customisable, extensible `kernels`
+    - VirtualShip = `kernel`s + configuration + digital ocean

+    - The digital ocean
+    - Data ingestion is by default 'streamed' via `copernicusmarine` Python toolbox (on-the-fly)
+    - With an option to pre-download to ingest (any gridded forcing data) from disk

+## VirtualShip applications 🚢 {.smaller}
+
+- For researchers:
+    - Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs)
+        - VirtualShip can help mesh diverse deployments in a digital ocean before spending thousands/millions of € on real-life deployments.
+
+- For complementing real-life expeditions:
+    - Plan your expedition in a digital ocean before you go to sea.
+    - Real-time adaptive strategies where sampling plans on real-life expedtions are updated based on incoming data and/or forecasts.
+
+- For educators:
+    - VirtualShip Classroom (software + open educational resources + VR)
+
