We spent several months developing and testing camera's off the WG. We mounted 3 camera's on the surface of the float, one looking down at the glider and 5 mounted below the glider. We have been successful at streaming in real time nearly several hundred pictures/hour via cell to a "test" web site. While the quality of the camera's, thus the pictures, are limited by our bandwidth capacity, they are useful. The one looking down at the glider is mostly for diagnostic reasons, the others are to test... "if you could take pictures every 6 seconds in the ocean, what might you see?" Well... the answer is "a whole lot of blue water", however we did capture schooling fish, melon headed whales, spinner dolphins, sharks, boats, barges, birds, and airplanes. Below are just a few examples.
