ABOUT SLOCUM GLIDERS…

The Slocum Coastal Electric Glider is an autonomous underwater vehicle that converts

changes in vehicle buoyancy to vertical motion. A pair of fixed wings provides forward momentum to move horizontally through the ocean.

A suite of miniaturized physical and bio-optical instruments, which measure in situ water

properties including temperature, salinity, and the absorption and scattering of light in

The water column, have been and are currently under development for placement in the glider’s science payload bay.
