    • Assessment of sea wave spectra using a surfaced glider 

      Alvarez, Alberto (CMRE, 2019/06)
      The determination of non-directional and directional sea wave spectra is attempted by analysing the dynamical response of a surfaced Slocum glider. The method makes use of the glider heave motion to infer non-directional ...

    • In-situ acoustic received level measurements with glider based reactive behaviour 

      Jiang, Yong-Min; Alvarez, Alberto; Cecchi, Daniele; Garau, Bartolome; Micheli, Michele (CMRE, 2019/06)
      Buoyancy-driven underwater gliders are typically employed to sample the water column environment in the ocean [1]. As one of the efforts of extending the capabilities of traditional underwater gliders, CMRE has been working ...

    • Redesigning the SLOCUM glider for torpedo tube launching 

      Alvarez, Alberto (NURC, 2012/04)
      Launching gliders from a submarine torpedo tube is of special interest for military operations. This is not currently possible because the wing span needed to achieve a good gliding performance is twice the standard diameter ...
