reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA505335 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The objectives of this project were as follows 1 improve the autonomous underwater glider Spray so that it could be more easily used in Naval operations, 2 use Spray to carry out sampling that demonstrates glider capabilities within the framework of a 1-month Naval operation in the Kuroshio, and 3 construct 9 improved Spray gliders to be made available for ONR-sponsored oceanographic research studies and headquartered at Scripps.
