Persistent Ocean Monitoring with Underwater Gliders: Adapting Spatiotemporal Sampling Resolution

Ocean processes are dynamic, complex, and occur on multiple spatial and temporal scales. To obtain a synoptic view of such processes, ocean scientists collect data over long time periods. Historically, measurements were continually provided by fixed sensors, e.g., moorings, or gathered from ships. Recently, an increase in the utilization of autonomous underwater vehicles has enabled a more dyna...

An Approach for Operation Depth Reduction of an Underwater Glider Propelled by Ocean Thermal Energy

The underwater Gliders are a kind of autonomous vehicles that have a special role in ocean surveys which demand continuous monitoring and long endurance. Because of low energy consumption and long endurance, these vehicles are favorite for these missions. Among this, a type of gliders can harvest ocean thermal energy, causing significant endurance increase. These vehicles need at least 680 mete...

Towards the Improvement of Autonomous Glider Navigational Accuracy through the Use of Regional Ocean Models

Autonomous underwater gliders are robust and widelyused ocean sampling platforms that are characterized by their endurance, and are one of the best approaches to gather subsurface data at the appropriate spatial resolution to advance our knowledge of the ocean environment. Gliders generally do not employ sophisticated sensors for underwater localization, but instead dead-reckon between set wayp...

Enabling Persistent Autonomy for Underwater Gliders with Ocean Model Predictions and Terrain-Based Navigation

Effective study of ocean processes requires sampling over the duration of long (weeks to months) oscillation patterns. Such sampling requires persistent, autonomous underwater vehicles that have a similarly, long deployment duration. The spatiotemporal dynamics of the ocean environment, coupled with limited communication capabilities, make navigation and localization difficult, especially in co...

Underwater Glider Networks for Adaptive Ocean Sampling

The long-term goal of this research is to enable a cooperating group of underwater gliders to perform efficiently and robustly as an autonomous, adaptive sampling network in a three-dimensional, dynamic ocean environment. This will involve developing the mathematical infrastructure and design tools for effecting feedback-controlled, schooling-like network behavior in an unsteady flow field whil...
