Seaglider fabrication center - University of Washington Seattle WA Usa. Seagliders have a demonstrated range of over 3600 km and mission duration of over 6 months while diving continuously to as deep as 1000 meters. They are routinely launched and recovered from small boats avoiding costly reliance on ships. Operation costs a few dollars per kilometer traveled to obtain high-resolution profiles of physical, chemical, and bio-optical variables, as well as depth-averaged and surface currents. The Seaglider Fabrication Center of the University of Washington provides new Seagliders, operator training, and glider refurbishment to both internal and external customers. It is a division of the School of Oceanography and works cooperatively with the Applied Physics Laboratory and other units to provide high-quality glider AUVs to discerning oceanographic customers. http://seaglider.washington.edu
