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

Coordination plan: (unchanged) gliders we05 and we08 are assigned to travel counter-clockwise on opposite sides around the southern track. Gliders we07 and we09 will travel clockwise around the middle/offshore (we07) and middle/inshore (we09) tracks. In addition, gliders we09 and we07 will seek to become synchronized on their respective tracks. Glider we10 will travel clockwise on the northern track.

Coordination summary: The separation between gliders we05 and we08 is good and should continue to improve. The synchronization between gliders we07 and we09 is very good. Glider we10 is heading inshore along the northern edge of the northern track.

Glider OA Flow summary: mild circulating and equatorward flow throughout the sampling domain.
