چکیده
Autonomous Underwater Gliders (AUGs) are becoming the tool of choice for oceanographers to collect in-situ data on the world’s oceans. Since the summer of 2006, the National Research Council-Institute for Ocean Technology (NRC-IOT) and Memorial University (MUN) have been exploring the potential for AUGs to gather oceanographic information with application to the Newfoundland Shelf. Our group has now collected over a month’s worth of deployment data, and has flown over 700 km with AUGs. Preliminary work has involved testing these vehicles in our local environment and also the integration of new sensors into the platform.

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...
متن کاملA Mission Planning System for the AUV "SLOCUM Glider" for the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelf
This paper presents a system for mission planning for an autonomous underwater vehicle in time-varying ocean currents. The mission planning system is designed for the AUV “SLOCUM Glider” to collect oceanographic data along the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelf. The data will be used in conjunction with a numerical ocean model currently under development by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans C...

The Autonomous Ocean Sampling Network-II (AOSN-II) and Adaptive Sampling And Prediction (ASAP) projects aim to develop a sustainable, portable, adaptive ocean observing and prediction system for use in coastal environments. These projects employ, among other observation platforms, autonomous underwater vehicles that carry sensors to measure physical and biological signals in the ocean. The meas...
متن کاملA Parameterized Geometric Magnetic Field Calibration Method for Vehicles with Moving Masses with Applications to Underwater Gliders
The accuracy of magnetic measurements performed by autonomous vehicles is often limited by the presence of moving ferrous masses. This work presents a parameterized ellipsoid field calibration method for magnetic measurements in the sensor frame. In this manner, the ellipsoidal calibration coefficients are dependent on the locations of the moving masses. The parameterized calibration method is ...
متن کاملA Modified Sequential Importance Re-sampling Algorithm for Small Embedded Systems
A terrain aided navigation method for an underwater glider is proposed using the vehicles ded-reckoned navigation solution, onboard altimeter and a local multibeam map. The algorithm is modified such to maintain the low power draw of the vehicle and is run offline using data collected from missions in 2010 and 2012 in Holyrood Arm, Newfoundland. The results show the algorithm is capable of main...
