Autonomous underwater gliders intend to solve the problem of obtaining persistent and real-time observations in offshore waters and under stormy ocean conditions, as well as to reduce the operational costs of dedicated deep water research vessels. In this regard, the Grupo de Monitoreo Oceanográfico con Gliders (GMOG) was created
in the Centro de Investigación Científica y Educación Superior de Ensenada (CICESE) in 2016 as a response to the need to improve our present state of knowledge of the hydrographical and biogeochemical variability of the western GoM.
