CMOP modeling technology helps rescue lost glider
Sophisticated forecast modeling tools developed at the Center for Coastal Margin Observation & Prediction (CMOP) came in handy recently when an underwater glider became disabled off the Washington coast.
According to Antonio Baptista Ph.D., director of CMOP, the missing glider challenged researchers to learn how to react when a major piece of scientific equipment is at risk. It also gave the team an opportunity to test their sea emergency forecasting tools.
