Autonomous front tracking by a Wave Glider
OCEANS 2016 MTS/IEEE Monterey, 2016Coastal upwelling brings cooler, saltier, and nutrient-rich deep water upward to the surface. Upwelling fronts support enriched phytoplankton and zooplankton populations, thus having great influences on ocean ecosystems. We have developed a method to enable a Wave Glider (an autonomous surface vehicle) to autonomously detect and track an upwelling ...

Wave Glider—A platform for persistent monitoring of algal blooms
OCEANS'11 MTS/IEEE KONA, 2011Wave glider (WG) is a novel autonomous surface vehicle that uses energy from surface waves for propulsion and an array of solar panels to power the sensor and hotel payloads. In this paper, we test the applicability of the WG platform for persistent monitoring of algal biomass distribution in Monterey Bay, CA.

The Wave Glider: A New Concept for Deploying Ocean Instrumentation
IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine, 2010Wave Glider is a combination sea-surface and underwater vehicle comprised of a submerged "glider" that is attached to a surface float via a flexible tether. Fig. 1 shows the Wave Glider. It is propelled by the conversion of ocean wave energy into forward thrust, independent of wave direction.

Wave Glider–Enhanced Vertical Seafloor Geodesy
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2020AbstractWe have developed a low-cost approach for accurately measuring short-term vertical motions of the seafloor and maintaining a continuous long-term record of seafloor pressure without the requirement for costly ship time. We equipped the University of Hawai‘i Liquid Robotics Wave Glider with an integrated acoustic telemetry package, a dual ...

Dynamic Modeling and Motion Simulation for Wave Glider
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013Wave gliders as innovative autonomous ocean-going vehicles harvest the abundant marine natural energy for persistent ocean environment monitoring. This paper analyzes wave glider’s operating mechanism and builds the dynamic model of wave glider. By simplifying the model into 3 DOS in longitudinal plane and selecting three generalized velocity, the ...

Estimation of wave glider dynamics for precise positioning
OCEANS'11 MTS/IEEE KONA, 2011The wave glider is a new autonomous surface platform with unique capabilities for persistent observation in a variety of marine environments. The applications of this novel technology continue to expand; some of the potential oceano-graphic applications will require precise positioning and navigation beyond the platforms current capabilities.
