Gliders under control: we05, we07, we08, we09, we10, we12

Coordination plan: there are two gliders assigned to travel on opposite sides around each of the three tracks: we10/we12 (clockwise) on the northern track; we07/we09 (counter-clockwise) on the middle track; and we05/we08 (counter-clockwise) on the souther track.

Coordination summary: gliders pairs we10/we12 and we07/we09 have good separation. Glider we08 is struggling to join we05 on the southern track.

Glider OA Flow summary: the equatorward flow characteristic of the upwelling covers the middle and southern tracks with patches of flow in excess of 25 cm/s.
