Glider Implementation Plan Provides Blueprint for Improved Monitoring of Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone
Description: The Glider Implementation Plan for Hypoxia Monitoring in the Gulf of Mexico is now available to guide the use of autonomous underwater vehicles for enhanced monitoring of seasonal hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The need for improved monitoring of the hypoxic zone (dead zone) has been repeatedly emphasized by the Interagency Gulf Hypoxia Task Force to better characterize the spatial and temporal relationship of the hypoxic zone to Mississippi River nutrient loading.
