The ADCP-Equipped Seagliders team breathes a sigh of relief as the glider is secured on the deck following a successful recovery. Although the team has been in constant communication with this specially outfitted glider since its deployment, getting the glider back safely is still a big deal. Now, the research team will be able to download the full datasets that this Seaglider has collected, revealing critical information about the distribution of small organisms in the waters off of Washington.
