SILBO: Density
SILBO: Density
As we monitor SILBO’S voyage we must also monitor the variation of water densities that it encounters. According to SILBO Deployment Dock, the graph displaying Density vs. Water Depth, and Sea Water Density illustrates that the water density was fairly consistent ranging from 0-100 meters, however at 100 kilometers, the water at about 500 meters(density=1030 kg) rose to a depth of about 300 meters. It is important to take matters such as this into consideration when talking about the engineering and flying of SILBO as we do not want water density to destroy the glider and alter the direction of its voyage.
