Gliders are valuable platforms in terms of equipment but also in terms of the vital information they collect. It is therefore not surprising that many of them are equipped with small Argos beacons in order to recover them in case of loss at sea. Currently, these Argos...

“This equipment is very good news for researchers – now it is reasonable to expect that if PSATs pop up in an area that can be reached by boat, tags can be physically recovered. For my research, this means that I can make sense of the geomagnetic and...
