In this study we present the Norwegian Atlantic Current Observatory, a monitoring program using state of the art technology as autonomous Seagliders and a NACO-buoy for real time transmission of environmental data. We demonstrate the applicability of the program by using Seaglider data from two transects; the Svinøy section and the Lofoten Basin in combination with moored current meter, wind and wave data from the NACO-buoy in the core of the Norwegian Atlantic Current off Svinøy.
