Three of the PacX gliders are about to cross the international dateline. Or at least the -180 degree line. As one reader pointed out (thanks Jacques! Given the way the dateline wiggles around, one has already made the transition. While crossing the dateline doesn’t have quite the historic ceremony. Of an equator crossing, it’ll still qualify the bots as, in the terms of the Navy, members of the. Order of the Golden. Has a good selection of trivia. July 30, 2012. Infin; Short URL.

It has been two weeks since Papa Mau crossed the equator. In light of this achievement, we’ve examined the data from his CTD (conductivity, temperature, density) sensor in order to investigate the physical properties of the water he has traversed over the past 28 days. All of this data is readily accessible at http:/ slab.liquidr.com/. Papa Mau is travelling well, and his sensors are still fully operational. Not bad for an 8,000 mile road trip! July 31, 2012.

Asked: Is the unit of the wind speed in m/s or in knots (Nm/s)? When comparing a dataset coming from ERDAP database (transmitted unit is in m/s) and the same dataset downloaded from SLAB database (unit is in knots), this is the same value. even with a ratoi of 1.852! The user manual of AIRMAR PB200 uses knots and MPH. It’s in knots: the unit specification from the old ERDDAP database was wrong. It’s accurate to about 1/10 of a knot. November 19, 2012.

A Little More About Mid Ocean Phytoplankton Blooms

A Little More About Mid Ocean Phytoplankton Blooms. These tiny, marine flora persist most constantly near the equator, where water temperatures are both the warmest and most consistent. A key reason for this is due to the angle of incidence of solar rays, which warm equatorial waters much more efficiently than that at the poles. Currently, phytoplankton distribution is most efficiently tracked by satellite (Yoder. 1993), as demonstrated by our previously-posted satellite image. J A Yoder, C. R. M...Note:...

PacX challenge data
http://pacxdata.liquidr.com/page/2
There’s a new facility. For obtaining data from vehicles. It’s much simpler than ERDDAP: it doesn’t support all of the file formats that ERDDAP does, it only allows data to be retrieved as CSV. Files But it understands streaming and authentication very well - two properties that make it operationally fit better with the way our business and the wavegliders operate. It’s pretty easy to use: you go to http:/ slab.liquidr.com/fetch. In java you’d use new URL(…). openstream. It has all data from all vehicles...

Asked: With the arrival in Australia of Benjamin in the next days, is there any chance to see Fontaine Maru coming back to Hawaii in order to explore the PacX route to Japan?

Benjamin, our second waveglider headed to Australia, has arrived! On February 14, 2013 at 22:20 UTC, after over 9400 nautical miles traveled from San Francisco, he finally arrived in Hervey Bay Australia. He collected millions of data points and survived some really exciting storms. February 15, 2013. Infin; Short URL. On November 17th, 2011, in San Francisco, Liquid Robotics.

On September 24, 2013 at the Oceans ‘13 conference in San Diego, Dr. Tracy Villareal of the University of Texas at Austin, was announced as the Grand Prize winner of the PacX Challenge. For his research on a comparison of scientific spatial data collected from U.S. satellite streams to in-situ or surface data collected by the four PacX Wave Gliders, Dr. Villareal received a $50,000 research grant from BP. And 6 months of Wave Glider time for research (valued at $300,000) from Liquid Robotics.

Equator crossing

Yesterday morning (July 17th) Papa Mau crossed the equator. The software survived the sign change with (almost) no hiccups :-) Benjamin should be crossing in a couple of weeks.
