Two Wave Glider solutions for Meteorology and Oceanography are available.. The base model (METOC Currents) gathers weather observations, meteorology and ocean current data. The expanded model (METOC Plus) adds wave and water sensors to measure waves (height, direction, period and spectrum), and water temperature, dissolved oxygen and salinity.
