Seagliders

Seagliders are autonomous underwater vehicles designed to explore and monitor the ocean. They move by changing their buoyancy and adjusting their wings, allowing them to glide smoothly through the water with minimal energy. This efficient design enables them to cover large areas and collect important data, such as temperature, salinity, and biological activity, over extended periods. Seagliders are valuable tools for scientists studying ocean processes, climate change, and marine ecosystems, providing continuous, real-time information without the need for human operators onboard.
