The glider is finally in the middle of the sound. We started the day with the launch of the REMUS glider for another pass up the channel to Cordova. After another flawless launch we went to pick the glider up because it was too light and could not dive below the thermocline (depth where water temperature changes dramatically). We added some weight and steamed out to the deployment site since the ocean was actually relatively calm. We dumped the glider in and it swam away, happy to be in the middle of the sound where it was supposed to be. Glider positions and plots can be found at http://marine.rutgers.edu/cool/auvs/?page=deployments under RU21.
