AUV System Spec Sheet

MUN Slocum Gliders configuration

Platform: Slocum Glider
Manufacturer: Teledyne Webb Research
Scientific User: Memorial University Autonomous Ocean Systems Laboratory

Summary

AOSL Maintains a fleet of 3 200M Slocum Gliders

ADCP Glider

The integration of an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) into an underwater glider is ongoing to expand the role of gliders in providing data to ocean current models. Additionally, the ADCP is a part of the on going effort in the lab to improve the navigational capabilities of the gliders. The integration of the ADCP is nearing completion and field trials in Summer 2010 will provide baseline tests and initial data for post correction and correlation.
