PacX Challenge As part of the PacX Challenge, four Wave Gliders will launch in the fall of 2011 off the coast of Northern California and attempt to travel the longest distance at sea by an unmanned marine vehicle. The robots will travel together to Hawaii and then take separate routes across the Pacific, one pair arriving in Japan and the other in Australia. While at sea, the Wave Gliders will be routed across regions never before remotely surveyed and will continuously transmit valuable data on salinity and water temperature, waves, weather, fluorescence, and dissolved oxygen. This data will be made available in near real-time to anyone interested and who registers on www.liquidr.com/pacx -114.2979053594506 38.56670665701546 0 -25.48426971874633 0 4131212.032459785 relativeToSeaFloor 1 http://mw1.google.com/mw-ocean/ocean/kml/expeditions-liquid_robotics/2/root.kmz onInterval 3600
