Vertical water velocities from underwater gliders [PDF]
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2010 The underwater glider is set to become an important platform for oceanographers to gather data within oceans. Gliders are usually equipped with a conductivity/temperature/depth (CTD) sensor, but a wide range of other sensors has been fitted to gliders ...

Dynamic modeling and three-dimensional motion simulation of a disk type underwater glider
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2018 Disk type underwater gliders are a new type of underwater gliders and they could glide in various directions by adjusting the internal structures, making a turnaround like conventional gliders unnecessary.

Identification of the Dynamics of Biofouled Underwater Gliders [PDF]
2020 IEEE/OES Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Symposium (AUV)(50043), 2020 Marine growth has been observed to cause a drop in the horizontal and vertical velocities of underwater gliders, thus making them unresponsive and needing immediate recovery. Currently, no strategies exist to correctly identify the onset of marine growth for gliders and only limited datasets of biofouled hulls exist.

Underwater Gliders: A Review [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2014 Underwater gliders are a type of underwater vehicle that transverse the oceans by shifting its buoyancy, during which its wings develop a component of the downward motion in the horizontal plane, thus producing a forward force. They are primarily used in oceanography sensing and data collection and play an important role in ocean research and ...
