Development of METOC Wave Glider Payloads in Support of Operatioinal Environmental Modeling

Abstract

ABSTRACT This is a proposal to design, fabricate, bench, and field test SIO-METOC instrument and Iridium communication systems for use on four Wave Glider autonomous sea-surface vehicles to provide bulk measurements of atmospheric and oceanographic variables. When completed, the instrumented Wave Gliders will be able to collect operational-grade METOC data for situational awareness and real-time assimilation into operational Naval METOC models.
