Oceanographers in Canada recently deployed three gliders as part of their VITALS program. The gliders, deployed just upstream of the OSNAP array at 53°N, will monitor waters along the shelf and slope of the western Labrador basin and will yield valuable downstream information on the waters passing through the OSNAP array. You can view the Google Earth tracks for these gliders here.
