The vehicles were launched from San Francisco in November of 2011. All 4 traveled together to Hawaii, at which point, they were recovered, serviced, and returned to the water to continue the mission. After servicing in Hawaii, Papa Mau and Benjamin were destined for Australia, while Piccard Maru and Fontaine Maru were destined for Japan. Each vehicle had an identical sensor suite consisting of a SeaBird Electronics GPCTD with dissolved oxygen, an Airmar PB200 weather station, a Turner Designs C3 fluorometer, and a Datawell MOSE-G wave sensor. The two Wave Gliders destined for Japan experienced technical difficulties. Fontaine Maru was rescued by R/V Kilo Moana about a quarter of the way to Japan, while Piccard Maru continues to drift in the North Pacific, periodically continuing to communicate. Papa Mau and Benjamin both reached their destination of Australia. While Papa Mau traveled the leg from Hawaii to Australia uninterrupted, Benjamin was serviced in Samoa. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0114435 Preview graphic PNG 0114435 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2013-11-20 publication AIR TEMPERATURE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE CHLOROPHYLL A CONDUCTIVITY DISSOLVED OXYGEN FLUORESCENCE HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE SALINITY turbidity WAVE DIRECTION WAVE HEIGHT - SIGNIFICANT WAVE PERIOD - AVERAGE WAVE PERIOD - DOMINANT WIND DIRECTION WIND GUST WIND SPEED theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS CTD fluorometer meteorological sensor instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological meteorological physical theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS Benjamin Fontaine Maru Papa Mau Piccard Maru platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS Liquid Robotics, Inc. dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Liquid Robotics, Inc. dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS North Pacific Ocean South Pacific Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
