Robot Gliders Track Huge Pockets of Ocean Water

Deep-diving, unmanned ocean robots have revealed that enormous pockets of salty water travel for thousands of miles in one mass, without being diluted, according to new research.

The pre-programmed ocean gliders tracked a giant disc of water 650 feet (200 meters) tall and 25 miles (40 kilometers) across as it traveled from the Bass Strait, a swath of salty ocean that separates Australia from Tasmania, to ocean regions far to the east of the island, according to a study from the University
