Ngaphantsi kwamanzi iirobhothi ngendlela yeegliders ziya kuhamba kuLwandle lwaseNyakatho zithatha imilinganiselo, ezifana netyuwa kunye nobushushu phantsi kwentsebenziswano phakathi kweZiko leSizwe le-Oceanography (NOC) kunye ne-Ofisi ye-Met yokuphucula ukuqokelela kunye nokusasazwa kwedatha evela kuLwandle lwaseNyakatho.
Iiglider zodidi oluphezulu ziyakwazi ukusebenza ngokuzimeleyo ixesha elide ngelixa izinzwa zazo ezibukhali zigqwesa ekuqokeleleni ulwazi olubalulekileyo malunga neelwandle zase-UK. Idatha eqokelelwe yi-gliders iya kubaluleka ukwazisa iimeko zexesha elizayo zemodeli yolwandle kunye neepatheni zemozulu, kwaye iya kuxhasa ukuthathwa kwezigqibo kwiinkonzo ezibalulekileyo zase-UK, ezifana nokukhangela nokuhlangula, ukuchasana nokungcoliseka, kunye ne-biodiversity yolwandle.
Intsebenziswano ijolise ekuqokeleleni ichaneke ngakumbi ngexesha lokwenyani elwandle idatha yokuphucula ukuchaneka koqikelelo lwemozulu kunye nokuvelisa uhlalutyo olungcono lwemeko yoLwandle lwaseNyakatho.
Ubushushu obutsha kunye nemilinganiselo yetyuwa yi ngaphantsi kwamanzi iirobhothi ziya kondliwa yonke imihla kwiimodeli ze-Met Office. Le yinxalenye yenkqubo ebanzi yokwandisa inani ledatha yokujonga ukungeniswa kwiimodeli eziqhutywa kwi-supercomputer entsha kwaye iya kuxhasa umsebenzi oqhubekayo we-Met Office ukuphucula ukuchaneka koqikelelo.
I-NOC ibambisene ne-Ofisi ye-Met ukususela ngo-1990, iphuhlisa imifuziselo yolwandle exhasa olu phuhliso kwisakhono sokuqikelela imozulu. Impumelelo kulo nyaka uphelileyo ikhokelele ukuba i-Ofisi ye-Met yandise isivumelwano kunye ne-NOC ukuze ibonelele ngale milinganiselo eminye iminyaka emithathu.
