Glider Pilot Tools
Slocum Gliders 
NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center began deploying Teledyne Webb Research Slocum G3 gliders to study Antarctic krill in 2018. The fleet as well as the sensors on the gliders have expanded through the years.

Oceanscout 
The ESD has started using the Hefring Oceanscout gliders in 2025. They are a smaller glider than the Slocum G3s.These currently have a CT and a PAM sensor.
