<h3>SEAGLIDER MISSION 5 DESCRIPTION</h3>
<p>Four underwater gliders were deployed between July 2016 and August 2016 - two in the Caribbean Sea, and two in the North Atlantic Ocean. Together, the four gliders are expected to collect over 5,400 temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll profiles during the Hurricane Season up until their recovery scheduled for November 2016. AOML-CARICOOS Underwater Gliders are officially part of the NOAA Hurricane Research Division Tropical Atlantic Hurricane Field Program.</p>
<p>The objective is to enhance our knowledge on the role that the ocean plays in the intensification of tropical cyclones, and help to improve Atlantic hurricane intensification forecasts.</p>
<h3>WHAT IS AN UNDERWATER SEAGLIDER?</h3>
<p>Seagliders are autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) used for continuous, long term measurements of oceanographic key parameters. To propel themselves they rely exclusively on the oceans density distribution. Given that the ocean is denser the further down you go, seagliders use their wings and their bladder to dive and generate forward motion by changing its inner density – just like a fish does with its air bladder.</p>
<p>Their navigation system is accomplished by GPS fixes while they sit on the surface sending the recorded measurements via satellite communications and during their dives, the seagliders use other internal sensors to monitor roll, pitch and heading. Thanks to the navigation systems seagliders can carry out oceanographic missions for up to 6 months, while transmitting data near-realtime.</p>
