Glider Path-Planning for Optimal Sampling of Mesoscale Eddies
Ocean gliders constitute an important advance in the highly demanding ocean monitoring scenario. Their efficiency, endurance and increasing robustness make these vehicles an ideal observing platform for many long term oceanographic applications [1]. However, they have proved to be also useful in the opportunistic short term characterization of dynamic structures. Among these, mesoscale eddies a...
متن کاملGlider Technology for Ocean Observations: A Review
The total number of drones used in the air, on the land and in the water is growing in recent years. This review focuses on ocean robots and in particular on glider technology which seems to be one of the most promising oceanographic tools for future marine research. Glider are remotely controlled underwater vehicles carrying out missions with lifetime exceeding months, traveling thoundsands of...
متن کاملModeling and Implementation of an Oceanic- Robot Glider
A glider is in essence an unpowered vehicle and in this project we designed and built an oceanic glider, designed to operate underwater. This Glider was designed to collect ocean data such as temperature, pressure and (in future measures physical dimensions of the operating environment) and output this data to an external source. Development of the Oceanic Glider required research into various ...
متن کاملOceanic mass transport by mesoscale eddies.
Oceanic transports of heat, salt, fresh water, dissolved CO2, and other tracers regulate global climate change and the distribution of natural marine resources. The time-mean ocean circulation transports fluid as a conveyor belt, but fluid parcels can also be trapped and transported discretely by migrating mesoscale eddies. By combining available satellite altimetry and Argo profiling float dat...
متن کاملHunting for oceanic island Moho
S U M M A R Y The structure of the oceanic crust conforms in general to a very simple model. However, fine-scale variations of this structure in anomalous regions (such as beneath oceanic islands) remain poorly resolved. Here we examine teleseismic receiver functions (RFs) computed at four permanent broadband seismic stations on islands in the Pacific region. The RF method is ideal for examinin...
