"The WebVTS decision support tools effectively mitigate potential marine
"An Epic Mission": Slocum Glider "Silbo" Circumnavigates the Atlantic Ocean
close to 5000 CTD casts that aided metalogical forecasting. With partners from Rutgers University and its student base, UVI, PLOCAN, UGCLP, the Marine Institute, and others, Silbo also participated in the Challenger glider mission. Silbo has been a test bed for many new engineering hardware and software features for both existing and next generation Slocum gliders. Recent legs have provided data on new battery configurations, advanced software, and techniques for piloting long endurance missions and minimizing biofouling. Silbo’s accomplishments have been critical in the glider community&rsquo

Things to Know When Choosing a Water Level Logger
. In addition to these questions, be sure to ask the manufacturer if the logger’s accuracy has been verified or measured against NIST-traceable standards. Some companies offer NIST-traceable calibration certificates as verification of the accuracy of each logger. 3. Software Features That Really Matter Just as water level loggers can vary considerably from model to model, so too can the graphing and analysis software or app that accompanies them. From a general standpoint, it’s a good idea to look for something that’s highly intuitive so that the learning curve
