The latest NOAA AOML and CARICOOS glider missions kicked off this summer. Two gliders were deployed into the Caribbean Sea, 8 nautical miles south of La Parguera during late July; two more started their voyage in the Atlantic Ocean just 8 nautical miles north of San Juan around early August. Our objective is to have the gliders collect near-realtime data of water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll at a variety of water depths for the entire hurricane season so that our partners at AOML can actively assess and seek to improve their hurricane forecasting capabilities. So far, recent atmospheric events have shown that this season promises to be an active one!
