Robot submarine Nemo battered by East Australian Sea current

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 29 December, 2008 : - - Sydney - An underwater robot named after the cartoon fish Nemo came close to grief when sent out to explore the same ocean current featured in the hit film. The 1.8 meter robot submarine is part of an Australian project to study the East Australian Current, one of the world's strongest ocean currents which may play a major role in global warming.

Suthers said the robot sub got caught up in an eddy and was adrift for 16 days, before it was retrieved earlier this month. The craft is part of a government project run by the Sydney Institute of Marine Science to find out more about the current, which brings massive amounts of warm water down Australia's east coast.

Temperatures in the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand, which the current flows through, have risen an average 2 degrees Celsius in less than a century, which was among the highest recorded anywhere in the world. Hopes are that the sub will help scientists understand it better.
