Storyline


Chinese scientists have recently used the country's self-developed underwater gliders in the biggest ever observation network for comprehensive maritime survey in the South China Sea.

The research vessel "Kexue" (Science) loaded with the underwater gliders left Qingdao in east Shandong Province on July 10 and returned to Xiamen in east China's Fujian Province on Friday.

Over the past10 days, the scientists have set free 12 underwater gliders to form an observation network in northern part of South China Sea in the latest maritime scientific expedition, which aims to monitor the deep-sea environment there, according to Yu Chengjian, researcher of Shenyang Institute of Automation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The length of observation network extends 135 nautical miles from east to west, and 75 nautical miles from north to south, the country's largest observation network of underwater glider group as yet.

"This time, we set free 12 underwater gliders. We set up three sites in northern part of South China Sea, then put the gliders into the water. Currently, they are operating very well. Now, we have achieved remote monitoring to the underwater gliders that can simultaneously observe their operation," said Yu.

The underwater glider, codenamed Haiyi, meaning "sea wings" in Chinese, is a new type of underwater robot propelled by net buoyancy and euler angle readjustment, It is capable of operating silently without propellers.

It is mainly used for measurement of the seawater temperature, salinity, turbidity, oxygen content, and ocean current intensity. It can also provide valuable data for the weather forecast and marine monitoring.
