Underwater Glider System Study [PDF]
, 2003 The goals of this study are to determine how to advance from present capabilities of underwater glider (and hybrid motorglider) technology to what could be possible within the next few years; and to identify critical research issues that must be resolved to make such advancements possible.

A concept design for an ultra-long-range survey class AUV [PDF]
, 2007 Gliders and flight-style Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are used to perform perform autonomous surveys of large areas of open ocean. Glider missions are characterized by their profiling flight pattern, slow speed, long range (1000s of km) and many

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 ...

Vertical water velocities from underwater gliders [PDF]
, 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 ...
