PURCON698 Buoyancy-driven profiling autonomous underwater vehicles

Buoyancy-driven profiling autonomous underwater vehicles The project requires gliders to be deployed in a variety of locations worldwide but will focus particularly on deployments in the Southern Ocean, on the Antarctic continental shelf and slope, in polynyas and in the vicinity of ice shelves. We will assess hydrography and tracers in the water masses on the continental shelf, and in the dense waters spilling off the shelf into the abyss as part of the global overturning circulation. Of particular interest are mi...
