Liquid Robotics PacX Challenge
(January 2012)
On November 17th, 2011, Liquid Robotics launched four Wave
Gliders on a record-breaking journey. The Wave Gliders are traveling together
from San Francisco to Hawaii, and then taking separate routes across the
Pacific, two to Japan and two to Australia. On their journey, the Wave Gliders
will continuously transmit valuable data on salinity and water temperature,
waves, weather, fluorescence, and dissolved oxygen, collecting approximately
2.25 million discrete data points. Each Wave Glider is equipped with a Sea-Bird
Glider Payload CTD
with SBE 43F Dissolved Oxygen Sensor.
Follow the Wave Gliders and view the data at
http://liquidr.com/pacx/pacific-crossing.html.
New
