Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Water salinity, temperature, and chlorophyll data collected from Oculus autonomous seaglider operated by NOAA/PMEL in the Bering Sea from 2017-07-26 to 2017-09-26 (NCEI Accession 0211129)

Preview graphic

The 2017 Oculus seaglider (SG401) data set, from NOAA-PMEL, contains temperature, salinity, chlorophyll and depth data from the Bering Sea, 2017-07-26 to 2017-09-26. The autonomous Oculus Glider is a descendent of the University of Washington Applied Physics Lab Seaglider, and is designed for shallow-water operations of less than 200m depth with speeds of up to 2 knots. On the middle Bering Sea shelf, water column data were collected from the surface to 63.1 meters depth, across an area extending from 57.80 to 58.72 degrees north latitude and -170.25 to -168.86 degrees west longitude. Data quality flag variables are listed as [variable]_qc. Data are delivered as a NetCDF-4-compatible file. Missing data points are defined under variable attribute "_FillValue" and noted as 1.0e+35 for measured variables.
