Autonomous underwater vehicles (Seagliders) have been deployed from ships in the vicinity of Station ALOHA for more than 16 missions since 2008. Seagliders can be used to characterize the variability of primary production, respiration, and particle dynamics to illuminate their relationship with high-productivity events. These events can serve as a framework for monitoring the short-term evolution of a water patch following “boom” and “bust” phases similar to that predicted during open ocean CDR experiments.
