ANFOG Seaglider unit SG151, deployed in the Tasman Sea since the 22nd of April, continues to occupy a transect line extending to 115 km east of Bicheno, Tasmania. Travelling in saw-tooth trajectories to depths of 1 km, SG151 has thrice traversed the East Australian Current. It now turns around to begin its fourth lap.

Platform Class : 27 sub-surface gliders (buoyancy-based propulsion capable at variable dephths not constrained to be near sea surface)
Current Length : 1.80
Notes : Underwater Seaglider (serial number 151) owned by Australian National Facility for Ocean Gliders (ANFOG)
