February/March Wrap-Up

Underwater Robots Play Crucial Role in Weather Forecasting

Cutting-edge underwater gliders operated by the National Oceanography Centre will navigate through the North Sea, taking measurements such as salinity and temperature, and deliver the data to the Met Office in near real-time. Salinity and temperature are very important drivers in ocean-atmosphere interactions, and will provide more in-depth information on ocean circulation. Measurements from the underwater robots are part of a wider program that aims to increase the amount of observational data for ingestion into weather forecasting models.
