Gliders are small autonomous underwater vehicles which were developed to carry out in-situ observations of the upper 1km of the ocean
filling the gaps left by the existing observing systems. More information on the instruments, how they work, why are they important
are posted in the Everyone’s Gliding Observatories site (EGO).
OGS gliders are part of the European glider infrastructure designed by
GROOM (FP7 European Project).
