    A group of crew members in red survival suits and safety gear are working on the deck of a research or offshore vessel. A central figure is leaning over and handling a yellow torpedo-shaped underwater glider or autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) resting on wooden cradles. The scene takes place on a wet ship deck with a large yellow crane visible in the background.

    ARCTIC OCEAN – Jason Gobat removes the cap off a radiation sensor on a sea glider Thursday, Sept. 20, 2018, aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB-20) approximately 100 miles northwest of Barrow, Alaska, in the Chukchi Sea. Gobat is the lead engineer who designed, built and programmed a series of sea gliders, which are semi-autonomous submarines used to measure water conductivity, temperature, depth, oxygen and other measurements in the Arctic Ocean. Once deployed, the sea gliders are controlled by pilots in the Applied Physics Lab at the University of Washington in Seattle. Approximately 30 scientists are aboard the Healy to study stratified ocean dynamics and how environmental factors affect the water below the ice surface for the Office of Naval Research. The Healy is one of two ice breakers in U.S. service and is the only military ship dedicated to conducting ice research in the Arctic.
