Presentation Transcript

  1. Mobile Platforms

  2. Common Elements of Regional OOS: Mobile Platforms Liquid Robotics Wave Glider • Surface wave gliders – soon to be common, or new and innovative, or both? • Vertically profiling gliders (Slocum, Spray, iRobot) – coastal and deepwater work • Ships – transect and station time- series, event response and process studies • As payload, power and duration increases for gliders and AUVs, ship time for some uses may be reduced • Propeller-driven AUVs – water-column and benthic work

  3. Some Region-Specific Mobile Platforms Elephant Seal • MA & NE: Ferries • CeN: Marine mammals • Pac: Fish tags – multipurpose platform for measuring ocean properties and fish location

  4. Innovative/Uncommon Mobile Platforms Tethys (MBARI) • CeN: Tethys – a new class of AUVs to support chemical and biological sensing missions – range of 1,000 km or more. • NE: Autonomous surface craft (future vision)

  5. Discussion Questions • Are there other common mobile platforms that should be added to the national synthesis list? • Which new, innovative, and/or uncommon mobile platforms or sensors should be identified in the national synthesis? • What are key differences among the regions in terms of mobile platform types and numbers, and the reasons for those differences? • How should the synthesis document address the quantification of mobile platforms? • What are the next steps needed to move the synthesis forward?
