Pacific Crossing Data

polarjacksw asked: When computing the solar position corresponding to "Benjamin venturing west Sunday morning, January 29, 2012 at 16:18z", it seems that the sun is under the horizon (Zenith Distance: 93.18°, Azimuth: 114.56°). Is it really the correct time of the picture ? What latitude and longitude did you use in your calculation? You stated the azimuth but what was the resulting altitude of the sun? |
On November 17th, 2011, in San Francisco, Liquid Robotics launched four Wave Gliders that will travel the longest distance at sea ever completed 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.
Note: As solar power is available or unavailable we are cycling the sensors so you may see gaps in the data. This is unfortunate but expected. PacX Supporters:
