Wave Glider for Arctic Ocean Observations

Abstract

This DURIP proposal seeks funding to purchase one Liquid Robotics Wave Glider to augment a previously purchased unit, and to outfit both them for use in sampling surface processes in the Arctic Ocean. The systems will be used in future Arctic Ocean experiments sponsored by the ONR, such as the Sea State and Boundary Layer Physics of the Emerging Arctic Ocean, a Departmental Research Initiative (often simply called the Waves ORI) with a field campaign in 2015. The Wave Gliders. will be used to collect weather data and wave height, plus conductivity and temperature near the surface.
