Slocum Glider with Explorer ADCP Deployment Test – Solo Run Teledyne RDI and Teledyne Webb collaborated to install an Explorer ADCP on a Slocum Glider for Rutgers University.

TRDI Data Review Using LADCP

TRDI Data Review Using LADCP A test flight of the glider in shallow water was conducted with bottom track enabled. The bottom track corrected velocities are compared with the velocities obtained with the LADCP Matlab-scripts, from Dr. Eric Firing at the University of Hawaii. The agreement between the two techniques is in general very good, but wave action on the glider while it is near the surface badly contaminates the bottom track corrected measurements.

Repeated Transects

TRDI Data Review Using GPS GPS can be used as a valid reference even within the small spatial areas covered by the Wave Glider® Traveling in reciprocal transects provide identical data Large features of oceanographic interest are economically captured by a Wave Glider® mounted ADCP
