Glider control work

QA/QC work

Instrument control

Visualization/integration with modeling, satellite, other obs

QA/QC software from NRL

Adaptive AUV controlDecision-making based on:

Real-time and historical observations Glider-based, satellite, etc.

Avoidance, mapping, tracking strategies

Ocean model forecasts

Glider-measured chl-a

Fumin slides

Glider operations

Piloting – shore and ship teams

Hardware maintenance

Dockserver runs at UNC

Deployment/recovery teams

Other thoughts

Glider = ship = profiler

Controlled Lagrangian particle tracking – differences between ship vs glider (vs ecomapper?)

Integration of modeling sim with satellite, other obs

3rd glider – possible front tracking strategy

Timeline

Jan-Mar - sim glider flight, sim currents Apr-May - sim glider comms, scripting,

integration with dockserver

- comparison of simulated, observed performance (R4 2006)

Summer - glider field trials, CLPT experiments

Winter - major field effort
