Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from glider ru36 deployed by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; Center for Ocean Observing Leadership (RU COOL) in the Caribbean Sea from 2021-12-09 to 2022-03-16 (NCEI Accession 0129915)

This project is focused on collecting data for onboard glider processing from an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). This is specifically targeted at collecting data down to 1000 meters for development of onboard processing algorithms in a bench-top processor environment. Future deployments will include integrated processors carrying out onboard processing at sea.

The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) received the data in this dataset from the Integrated Ocean Observing System's National Glider Data Assembly Center (IOOS NGDAC). The IOOS NGDAC received the data in one or more netCDF files comprising an entire glider deployment. The data are measurements of physical oceanographic properties such as temperature, salinity, conductivity, and density. The IOOS NGDAC checked the files for compliance to their netCDF file convention, aggregated the files into a single netCDF file, and then submitted the file to NCEI for long-term preservation. Data files may be either low resolution real-time or full resolution. Full resolution files are designated as "delayed" in the netCDF file name.
