| On August 11, 2007 a glider was deployed just north of the Hawaiian Islands. The glider dove continuously to 1000 m depth, returning to the surface to relay the measurements via satellite after each dive. Measurements of both physical and biological ocean properties were made (temperature, salinity, pressure, oxygen, chlorophyll and scattering). The glider continued to collect data until October 4, 2007, when contact was lost. This site presents preliminary figures of these measurements as they were received in realtime. |
