A Look Back
If I were to choose a single phrase to
characterize the first century of modern
oceanography, it would be a century of
under-sampling.

THE GOALS FOR 2007, SUPPORT 2 NSF EXPERIMENTS
NSF New Jersey Midshelf Front Experiment
Winter/Spring 2007 Dave Ulman (URI) at sea on
board the R/V Endeavor Josh Kohut (RU) in the
COOLroom Communication via High-Seas Net 3
Gliders to be deployed next week
Sent Wed 1/17/2007 1025 PM Subject NJ Shelf
Update Jan 17 Dave, The clear skies that brought
big winds today has brought better satellite
imagery along with it. All day today the
currents have been fairly uniform toward the
South across the entire shelf all the way to the
Gulfstream. The satellite image show no real
departure from what we saw before the weekend
storm. Josh

Communication
Each glider is equipped with two bi-directional
communication links, located in the tail.
FREEWAVE A high frequency radio (RF)
communication link (Freewave Technologies) allows
for high speed, line of sight data transmission
and a repeater can be used to increase the
distances of communication IRIDIUM Satellite
telephone link (Iridium Satellite LLC) also
provides global communication coverage.
ARGOS ARGOS transmitter is also located in the
tail and broadcasts GPS coordinates to locate the
glider in case of an emergency.
