Seagliders are a buoyancy driven autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV)
developed by scientists and engineers at the University of Washington's
School of Oceanography and Applied Physics Laboratory. They fly through
the water with extremely modest energy requirements using changes in
buoyancy for thrust coupled with a stable, low-drag, hydrodynamic
shape. Seagliders make oceanographic measurements traditionally
collected by research vessels or moored instruments, but at a fraction
of the cost. They can survey along a transect, profile at a fixed
location, and can be commanded to alter their sampling strategies
throughout a mission.
