There are three VITALS gliders. Two from Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) and one from McGill. One is a shallow (200m) glider and two are deep (1000m) gliders. The MUN 1000m glider incorporates a thruster for extra forward power.
All three measure temperature and salinity. The MUN and McGill 1000m gliders also measure dissolved oxygen. Additionally the McGill glider can profile current velocity.
