We redeployed the mooring today, in the same site, for just for one month. When the mooring was deployed for a year, it could collect samples every two weeks. Deploying just for a month means we can take samples every day and get a better idea of how much the ocean characteristics change from day to day. It puts our year-long time series of data in context. We will recover the mooring again at the end of February.

Ocean gliders are a type of robotic underwater vehicle used for measuring oceanographic parameters such as chlorophyll levels, temperature and salinity, which are then transmitted back to the shore. They are very effective tools for gathering data from the ocean and carry a great variety of instruments.
