A new undulating underwater vehicle called “Dolphin” has been developed by NASA-SSC and Wet Labs to provided unique oceanographic and bio-optical data of the water column. Dolphin was used during the recent Oripex-7 cruise to the Orinoco River Plume. This multidisciplinary effort was carried out onboard the R/V Pelican during November 12-30, 2005. A group of scientists, including Fernando Gilbes from GERS Lab, was part of this historical campaign.
