Caribbean Through-Flow Watermass Transformation Processes

This NSF Major Research Instrumentation Award established the UVI Ocean Glider Lab, equipped it with two Teledyne Webb Research G3 Slocum Gliders, and and provides initial support for UVI staff and students to learn glider operations in preparation for further research projects.  Initial training is being aided by TWR and Rutgers University Center for Ocean Observing Leadership.  UVI Ocean Gliders will be deployed in 2023 and 2024  on missions around the USVI in support of research and training activities.
