The Endurance 16 team completed its first operation of the Spring 2022 OOI Endurance cruise. Here Linus Stoltz (left) and Jonathan Whitefield (right) prepare a couple of ocean gliders for deployment off Oregon. These gliders are designed to operate for three months at a time and range to about 200 miles offshore during their deployment. After deploying the gliders, the team collected a profile of water properties from the ship for comparison to the glider data.
