- Autonomous Wave Gliders travel the oceans collecting data
Mounted camera
A forward-looking Canon G10 mounted on the rear of the Float gives scientists the ability to obtain visual data from the Wave Gliders.
The camera take images on demand and transmits them in real time. Due to the slow speeds of the satellite data connection, the camera is not often used, but when needed can provide valuable visual information about the location of the vessel.
