What’s on the Gliders
The following sensors are installed on all four Wave Gliders. The sampling interval for all sensors is 10 minutes.
- Seabird GPCTD with Dissolved Oxygen Sensor – measures water conductivity, temperature, depth, and dissolved oxygen just below the float of the Wave Glider.
- Datawell MOSE-G Directional Wave Sensor – measures significant wave height, average period, peak period, and peak direction.
- Airmar PB200 WeatherStation– measures air temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed, wind gust speed, and wind direction one meter above the deck of the Wave Glider.
- Turner Designs C3 Submersible Fluorometer – measures chlorophyll-A and crude oil fluorescence, as well as turbidity and water temperature just below the float of the Wave Glider.
