Princeton GCCS Log August 13, 2006 1330 GMT GCT file: asap_0806_v11 Gliders under control: we05, we07, we08, we09, we10 Coordination plan: (unchanged) gliders we05 and we08 are assigned to travel counter-clockwise on opposite sides around the southern track. Gliders we07 and we09 will travel clockwise around the middle/offshore (we07) and middle/inshore (we09) tracks. In addition, gliders we09 and we07 will seek to become synchronized on their respective tracks. Glider we10 will travel clockwise on the northern track. Coordination summary: The separation between gliders we05 and we08 is poor. This was caused when the glider planner missed several we05 surfacings in a row and produced waypoints for we05 based on outdated position information. The synchronization between gliders we07 and we09 is good. Glider we10 is rounding the offshore, southern edge of the northern track. Glider OA Flow summary: mild circulating and equatorward flow throughout the sampling domain.
