  • Abstract
    Two decades have passed since Stommel´s futuristic article popularized Doug Webb´s underwater glider concept. Stommel´s imagination was sparked by the opportunity gliders provided to broaden our understanding of the oceans and perhaps even more important to him, by the potential it had to draw peoples interest and excitement for ocean dynamics.
