(Left) An acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP)-equipped Seaglider. The ADCP is the circular instrument in the middle of the glider. The orange antenna allows the Seaglider to transmit its data and position when it comes to the surface. (Right) The Seaglider is deployed by engineers Christina Ramirez and Kira Smith offshore of La Push, Washington.
