  1. Congratulations on achievement, going from 1 glider 10 years ago to over 80 gliders now • Emphasize importance of a single agreed global data format • Important to know the true cost of sustained glider observations and of glider pools(total FTE and total Eu per glider-month, including infrastructure, data QC, losses, etc) • Show improving maturity of technology and of teams by tracking percentage ofdeployment success and of glider losses • Make sustained (endurance) lines/sites truly 100% occupied (e.g. Balearic Channelsonly have 120 glider days/year) • Where are the virtual moorings ? • Explore and document trade-offs for sensor choices (endurance, operating cost, etc) • Explore options for in-situ sensor calibration (attach sensors/controller or glider to CTD rosette ?) • Critical to document the complementarity between gliders, moorings, remote sensing (e.g. task 2.1 – showing which platform addresses which requirement best). Very important to show that a mix of technologies is needed, including ship-based work.
