…ocean, specifically designed for autonomous surface vehicles. These systems will be installed on instrumented Wave Gliders, and towed from a new fast, autonomous ship under development at the Air-Sea Interaction Laboratory. These vehicles will be used in forthcoming ONR-funded research on air-sea interaction and upper-ocean processes, crucial to understanding Earth’s…
