Underwater amarobhothi asesimweni sama-glider azozulazula oLwandle Olusenyakatho ethatha izilinganiso, njengosawoti kanye nezinga lokushisa ngaphansi kokubambisana phakathi kwe-National Oceanography Center (NOC) kanye ne-Met Office ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuqoqwa nokusatshalaliswa kwedatha evela eNorth Sea.
Ama-glider asezingeni eliphezulu ayakwazi ukusebenza ngokuzimela isikhathi eside ngenkathi izinzwa zawo ezihamba phambili zihamba phambili ekuqoqeni ulwazi olubalulekile mayelana nesimo sezilwandle zase-UK. Idatha eqoqwe ama-glider izobaluleka ukwazisa izimo zesikhathi esizayo zokumodela ulwandle kanye namaphethini wesimo sezulu, futhi izosekela ukuthathwa kwezinqumo ezinsizeni ezibalulekile zase-UK, ezifana nosesho nokuhlenga, ukunqanda ukungcoliswa komhlaba, kanye nezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo zolwandle.
Ukusebenzisana kuhlose ukuqoqa okunembe kakhudlwana ngesikhathi sangempela ocean idatha ukuthuthukisa ukunemba kokubikezela isimo sezulu kanye nokwenza ukuhlaziya okungcono kwesimo saseNorth Sea.
Izinga lokushisa elisha kanye nezilinganiso zikasawoti by the ngaphansi kwamanzi amarobhothi azophakelwa nsuku zonke kumamodeli wesimo sezulu se-Met Office. Lokhu kuyingxenye yohlelo olubanzi lokukhulisa inani ledatha yokuqaphela ukuze ifakwe kumamodeli asetshenziswa kukhompyutha enkulu entsha futhi izosekela umsebenzi oqhubekayo we-Met Office wokuthuthukisa ukunemba kwesibikezelo.
I-NOC ibambisene ne-Met Office kusukela ngeminyaka yawo-1990, ithuthukisa amamodeli olwandle asekela lezi zinhlelo zekhono lokubikezela isimo sezulu. Impumelelo onyakeni odlule iholele i-Met Office ukuthi muva nje yelule inkontileka ne-NOC ukuze ihlinzeke lezi zilinganiso eminye iminyaka emithathu.
