[Platforms] UNITED STATES - SG012 (NOAA Approved)

[Lowry, Roy K.]

Hi Marilynn/Don,

I would question the Notes for this (also for SG101) as three glisers seem to have the same serial number.

To me ' Underwater Seaglider glider (number 012) owned by the Applied Physics Lab, University of Washington'  for SG012 and ' Underwater Seaglider glider (number 101) owned by the Applied Physics Lab, University of Washington' for SG101  makes more sense.

Could somebody check and confirm please?

Cheers, Roy,
