Gliders

SECOORA established a regional glider network in 2016 to gather data on shelf circulation and water properties in the South Atlantic Bight. Regular glider deployments will occur at multiple locations off Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Sensors on the gliders will allow the team to map temperature, salinity, density, dissolved oxygen and other scientific data.
