Gliders The glider transmits log files to our server whenever it surfaces, and information from these files has been summarized in KML files and displayed on the map below.

For our 2012 deployment, we relied on the glider piloting expertise of the Rutgers University Coastal Ocean Observation Lab. While we were at sea in the Chukchi, they piloted our gliders from New Jersey. They maintain their own system with links to the real-time glider data:
