NOAA Uses Remote-Controlled 'Wave Gliders' to Collect Oceanographic Data

"One wave glider has "Conductivity Temperature Depth" (CTD) sensors, a fluorometer, water temperature sensors, and a meteorological sensor package that measures wind, temperature, and atmospheric pressure. The other glider has a sensor that measures the partial pressure of carbon, an oxygen sensor, a CTD, pH instrumentation, and a meteorological package." - excerpt from NOAA Office of Response and Restoration media release.
