| Abstract | Underwater gliders are a disruptive technology capable of transforming our understanding of the ocean. Efficient vehicle flight is critical for proper data collection, allowing successful completion of project goals. Slocum glider flights in less than 15 m of water have been only marginally successful, as use of deep water flight coefficients disables proper inflection at shallow depths. Groundings can damage sensors, degrade data, halt progress, and ultimately endanger the vehicle. To correct poor flight performance, sensor parameters responsible for inflection were individually analyzed and adjusted. Tests were conducted on repeated flights in the shallow state waters of New Jersey with glider RU28 while conducting dissolved oxygen surveys for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA); further verifications were conducted off the shoaling areas of Delaware with glider OTIS while searching for tagged sturgeon and sand tiger sharks. As a result of these tests, flight performance has been drastically improved, with efficient flight in 8 m of water, including several promising instances in water as shallow as 6 m. Prior to adjustments, gliders would make little forward progress and spend 50-100% of a flight segment grounded. With the new parameters loaded, groundings have been eliminated from coastal missions. Enabling shallow water flight for Slocum gliders allows vehicle operations in an area largely unexplored by this type of platform, opening up coastal areas to new project ideas and sampling schemes. Shallow water flight parameters can be shared with the community to increase sampling density in areas previously off limits to these vehicles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
