Abstract

An underwater glider is a winged, buoyancy-driven AUV developed especially to autonomously collect oceanographic data over the course of weeks or months at a time. The standard, on-board, oceanographic measurements include conductivity, temperature and pressure, but other sensors such as bathy-photometers, optical backscatter sensors, fluorometers, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) sensors and various acoustic sensors have been successfully tested and deployed on gliders. Henry Stommel and Douglas C. Webb, initially conceived the glider concept envisioning an endurance vehicle that could sample the ocean while circumnavigating the globe.
