Title: Physical data collected from Seaglider SG016 during Faroe Shetland Channel, 12 November 2006 in the North Atlantic Ocean deployed from 2006-11-12 to 2006-12-06 (NODC Accession 0117074)
Abstract: Seaglider is a buoyancy driven autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) developed by scientists and engineers at the University of Washington's School of Oceanography and Applied Physics Laboratory. Seagliders are designed to glide from the ocean surface to a programmed depth and back while measuring temperature, salinity, depth-averaged current, and other quantities along a sawtooth trajectory through the water. Seaglider has entered wide use in scientific deployments. They are designed for missions in range of several thousand kilometers and durations of many months. Seagliders are commanded remotely and report their measurements in near real time via wireless telemetry.
