4. What is a glider? Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Propels itself without a propeller Moves slowly through the water collecting data as it goes

5. CTD Fore Hull Altimeter Air Bladder Control Board Science Payload Bay Fin CowlingAft Hull Buoyancy Pump Antenna (Iridium, Freewave, GPS & Argos) Anatomy of a Glider

6. Buoyancy pump in  the glider pulls in 0.5 L of water Glider begins to dive downward Push pump out  glider inflects and begins to climb to the surface one dive and one climb is called a ‘yo’ When surfacing to connect glider inflates air bladder How gliders “fly”
