"The ocean is hugely undersampled. Wave Gliders have the potential to revolutionize how we measure and understand the ocean."
Customer: NOAA AOML
"Among the [Wave Glider’s] notable features are the ability to use the platform for more than just one application, the ability to reconfigure the platform to meet your scientific need, and the ability for long-duration sensing that lends the platform to such a wide variety of applications."
Customer: Ocean Tracking Network at Dalhousie University
"We can’t afford to wire the entire ocean with stationary receivers. It’s neither practical nor economical. The Wave Glider, which has the ability to roam the ocean for months or even years, and its mobile receiver is being used to monitor ocean areas that we need to look at but cannot cover now due to conflicts with fishing gear, and other dilemmas. The Wave Glider is a highly mobile and adaptable platform that provides us with data in near real-time, while saving huge amounts of money in maintenance and care.”
Customer: NOAA PMEL
Two Arctic Wave Gliders covered over 900 nautical miles (1,325 and 1,418 respectively) and recorded and transmitted nearly 900,000 temperature measurements, forming a data set that shows the Beaufort Sea was anomalously warm in the summer of 2011.
Customer: NASA
"The deployment of the first Wave Glider went very smoothly and we have already made some exciting - and previously very difficult - measurements that have the graduate students aboard [the vessel Knorr] begging to play with the data."
Customer: Stanford University's Blue Serengeti Initiative and TOPP
"The Wave Glider is an unmanned robot. It’s a data-collecting mobile platform. It can carry sensors for everything from weather to sea surface temperatures. Our goal is to use revolutionary technology that increases our capacity to observe our oceans and census populations, improve fisheries management models, and monitor animal responses to climate change.”
Customer: NOAA PMEL Carbon Program
"Use of this vehicle could lead to a new paradigm for economical underway surface observations that does not rely on expensive research ships and is not restricted to the standard shipping lanes of volunteer vessels.”
Customer: BP
"These vehicles will provide us a steady stream of data about water quality and should significantly increase the available data for ongoing research activity.”
Customer: The Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN)
"The Wave Glider is simple to operate. It’s very easy to deploy, pilot, and recover. You don’t need a ship with a big crane - just a rubber boat with a couple of skilled technicians on board to tow it. This was cost-effective and very useful to us.”
Customer: Cornell University
"This is a game changer. The Wave Glider gives us the means for continuous acoustic monitoring of fish and micronekton populations, at a fraction of the operational costs of shipboard surveys.”
Customer: Scripps Institution of Oceanography
"When you have a large earthquake, it’s important to quickly estimate the parameters of where it was and how big the seafloor displacement was. In order to do this, you need improved coverage in the ocean.”
