1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,380 So one of the things we've done on this 3 00:00:11,380 --> 00:00:14,120 cruise is we deployed uh an autonomous 4 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,231 vehicle that's called a glider . It's 5 00:00:16,231 --> 00:00:19,020 like a torpedo shaped instrument that 6 00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:21,780 dives up and down and goes into areas 7 00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:24,940 where the ship can't go . So one of the 8 00:00:24,940 --> 00:00:27,051 things we're doing with the gliders , 9 00:00:27,051 --> 00:00:29,051 we're trying to understand how warm 10 00:00:29,051 --> 00:00:31,162 water gets through these deep troughs 11 00:00:31,162 --> 00:00:33,520 close to Greenland that helps melt the 12 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,742 ice that's coming out of the glaciers . 13 00:00:35,742 --> 00:00:38,270 And this glider can get way up in there 14 00:00:38,270 --> 00:00:40,570 close to these few yours . 15 00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:44,540 So it's really valuable to 16 00:00:44,540 --> 00:00:46,596 take that information and combine it 17 00:00:46,596 --> 00:00:49,260 with the information from the ship .
