Seaglider. The University of Washington developed this 'glider' and deployed for six months at Davis Strait between the North American continent and Greenland. This is one of the locations were 'fresh water' from melting Arctic Ocean ice enters the global ocean circulations.
We know from prior Earth data that the 'underwater waterfall' at this location powers the entire global ocean circulation. When this fresh water ceases to exist the ocean circulations slow and changes climate.
The University of Washington is doing vitally important work. Clicking the title to this entry will explain Seagliders mission in a video. Thank you.
