The vehicles, essentially autonomous profiling floats with wings, execute sawtooth patterns between the surface, where they are located and communicate to shore, and depths of O(1000 m). These vehicles are commanded remotely and report results to shore in near real time. Different approaches to the various design issues are embodied in the vehicles Spray, Seaglider and Slocum models described here including battery-and thermal-powered propulsion, different depth and speed capabilities, diverse hydrodynamic approaches to reducing drag and gliding control, various communication schemes, and a range of sensors. These approaches are described and examples of completed scientific missions are given.

Steady-state currents were measured at various applied voltages for the cell Ta(s) / KCl(l) / K-Bi(l). Results showed the electronic conductivity to be proportional to the activity of K in KCl at temperatures between 800 and 860°C and for activities of potassium
