After two rough days at sea, #QUICCHE started yesterday for Polar Gliders with the deployment of one SeaExplorer Glider with SUNA, one Sailbuoy and a WaveGlider SOCCO ! Soon more toys in the water🌊 Let's take a bite of this precious piece of the ocean! 🌊 Bastien Queste 🇪🇺🇫🇷🇸🇪

Great day yesterday and today. Well done Polar Gliders and Sea Technology Serv and SOCCO teams! 🙌🏾 #QUICCHE

...and today has been King Tubby's turn to shine! SeaExplorer Glider SEA057 smoothly deployed and now sampling a piece of #QUICCHE with Rockland Scientific MicroRider and Nortek Group ADCP! Happy faces after hard work👏🏻 We can't wait to see all the data! Isabelle Sindiswa Giddy Polar Gliders 🌊 Bastien Queste 🇪🇺🇫🇷🇸🇪

Another set of autonomous eyes in the ocean watching for surface currents and winds… this is a finely oiled team Polar Gliders Theo Spira @mdduplessis Estel Font @TeshaToolsee Johan M. Edholm #QUICCHE #Sailbuoy

Special delivery from ⁦Rockland Scientific⁩ today! Gone are the fears of shaky hands and loose items of clothing, the microT now has a guard - let's see how they compare to the standard FP07 on the next deployment ⁦Estel Font⁩ and ⁦Isabelle Sindiswa Giddy⁩ 😊

To improve future climate models, researchers Polar Gliders Göteborgs universitet / University of Gothenburg are now making the first measurements of the fine-scale ocean currents in a region of the South-East Atlantic known as the Cape Cauldron.

📌 Wave Gliders are one of the crucial observing platforms in remote parts of the ocean. Read more from @TeshaToolsee in the #QUICCHE blog! 👇 swot-adac.org/news/quicche-b…

Nevertheless we persisted! Celebrating some of the many women here at sea for #QUICCHE. Including women technicians who, contrary to majority male opinion, are able to handle deck work, winches, and lifting heavy things. Thank you!

It’s a glider palooza. Seaglider Lussekat and sailbuoy Pimpim join their friends.. Six autonomous vehicles dancing in the cape cauldron mosh pit! SOCCO Polar Gliders 🌊 Bastien Queste 🇪🇺🇫🇷🇸🇪 #QUICCHE

A whole new view 🤩 🌊 First taste from the SWOT mission shows Earth’s water in higher definition than ever before. The spatial resolution of SWOT ocean measurements is 10 times greater than sea surface height data gathered over the same area by seven other satellites combined.

King Tubby and Scratch SeaExplorer Glider back on deck of R/V Roger Revelle after 3 weeks riding Cape Cauldron's waters! We leave behind our SeaGlider, two Sailbuoys and a WaveGlider, that will find their way to Cape Town in a few months. 2 last days of #QUICCHE!

Exciting postdoc opportunity to lead glider-centred process studies of shelf dynamics off the west coast of Canada with a range of partners, including Rockland! eoas-prodigy-2021.sites.olt.ubc.ca/join-us/

Do you like toques and turbulence data processing (I mean, who doesn't)? Then if you are at #EGU23 be sure to participate Thursday in our "AUTONOMOUS TURBULENCE PROFILING: Updates on Sensor Technology & Data Processing" splinter meeting (SPM77) European Geosciences Union

Masters in oceanography at Göteborgs universitet / University of Gothenburg! What a fun time on our 3-day cruise to Skagen, Denmark 🇩🇰 on R/V Skagerak. Really nice students who have great ideas 💡.. promising next generation of scientists 👩🏽‍🔬 .. also thx to Isabelle Sindiswa Giddy @mdduplessis Johan M. Edholm

So excited and honoured! Many thanks to IACS, and to my supervisors and coauthors Karen Heywood, @dpstevens, Ben Webber and 🌊 Bastien Queste 🇪🇺🇫🇷🇸🇪 !!!!! ❤️

Congratulations to ITGC scientist Yixi Zheng 🌊🧊 from UEA School of Environmental Sciences 🏆 She's the recipient of a IACS Early Career Scientist Prize, which celebrates emerging researchers with outstanding publications by in cryospheric science. cryosphericsciences.org/awards/early-c…

When research becomes reality: our PhD student A. MERCI has developed a revolutionary algorithm that enables several SeaExplorer #gliders to cover a large area automatically and optimally, taking currents into account and guaranteeing a simultaneous return to the recovery point.
