Finding a glider in the Southern Ocean
In February 2014, a research team from the University of East Anglia deployed two Seagliders in the Amundsen Sea, to study the water salinity, temperature, and oxygen levels. The gliders use the Iridium satellite communication system for data relay, but the University team systematically attaches a robust SPOT-5 Argos tag to the antenna, in case of any malfunction with the Iridium system. After several days, communication with one of the two gliders became difficult.
