Underwater gliders are autonomous underwater vehicles that profile vertically by changing
their buoyancy and use wings to move horizontally. Gliders are useful for sustained …

The total number of drones used in the air, on the land and in the water is growing in recent
years. This review focuses on ocean robots and in particular on glider technology which …

Ocean scientists have dreamed of and recently started to realize an ocean observing
revolution with autonomous observing platforms and sensors. Critical questions to be …

As the concurrent use of multiple autonomous vehicles in ocean missions grows, systematic
control for their coordinated operation is becoming a necessity. Many ocean vehicles …

The Kuroshio is the most important current in the North Pacific. Here, we present historical
data and recent observations of the Kuroshio off the coasts of Taiwan and the Philippine …

Abundant mesoscale eddies propagate to the east of Taiwan and affect the Kuroshio
Current and its onshore intrusion northeast of Taiwan. But the dynamical process of how …

We derive and apply a methodology for the initialization of velocity and transport fields in
complex multiply-connected regions with multiscale dynamics. The result is initial fields that …

In the subtropical western North Pacific Ocean, the Kuroshio delivers heat, salt, and
momentum poleward, much like its North Atlantic analog, the Gulf Stream. Though the …

Ocean prediction systems rely on an array of assumptions to optimize their data assimilation
schemes. Many of these remain untested, especially at smaller scales, because sufficiently …

The" cold dome" off northeastern Taiwan is one of the distinctive oceanic features in the
seas surrounding Taiwan. The cold dome is important because persistent upwelling makes …
