Designing guidelines of a deep glider to support long-term in-situ exploration and protection services of the coastal and deep ocean

The document will provide a hierarchy of the requirements found from different stakeholders; it will discern the degree of modularity that can be accomplished by interchangeable sensing systems and on-board autonomy; it will define specific sampling missions to the specific targeted services and, finally, it will suggest on-site data processing procedures to maximize the information content of the collected data.
