High-resolution acoustic surveys with diving gliders come at a cost of aliasing moving targets.

PloS one Aug 16, 2018
Underwater gliders are autonomous robots that follow a slow, see-saw path and may be deployed for months on end. Gliders have a dramatically lower payload capacity than research vessels and are thus limited to more simple instrumentation. They have t...
