Description

As the agency reported it.

Specifically, five ocean gliders will track the alkalinity released by the field trial by following dyes and changes in PH (measure of how alkaline or acidic the water is). The gliders can identify these changes from baseline data collected several weeks prior to the start of the trial as well as other measurements and modeled data collected as part of the larger experiment. In order to make these measurements, the team will integrate important sensors into the gliders. This engineering project will include housing modifications and electrical integration of the PH and DYE sensors into the glider body, as well as the development of firmware that controls the glider and the incorporated sensors. Researchers will test integration of these components on short deployments the year before the main alkalinity addition experiment. In add
