| contents | Underwater gliders offer effective means in oceanic surveys with a major task in reconstructing the three-dimensional hydrographic field of a mesoscale eddy. This paper considers three key issues in the hydrographic reconstruction of mesoscale eddies with the sampled data from the underwater gliders. It first proposes using the Thin Plate Spline (TPS) as the interpolation method for the reconstruction with a blocking scheme to speed up the computation. It then formulates a procedure for selecting glider path design that minimizes the reconstruction errors among a set of pathway formations. Finally we provide a glider path control procedure to guide the glider to follow to designed pathways as much as possible in the presence of ocean current. A set of optimization algorithms are experimented and several with robust glider control performance on a simulated eddy are identified. |
