Deep Glider Development

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to make routine full-depth hydrographic surveys of the ocean orders of magnitude less expensive than they now are so that mesoscale, seasonal, and interannual evolution of ocean structure can be described much more completely than is presently affordable. Higher space-time resolution description of oceanic processes will lead directly to their fuller understanding and prediction.
