When a group of University of Washington students deployed an instrument called a Seaglider in the Pacific Ocean near the equator last November, it was their biggest mission yet.

After the Seaglider launched, there was a week of coordination with other instruments deployed by UW Applied Physics Laboratory as well as equipment remotely operated by NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory’s Ocean Climate Stations group.
