Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Full resolution and low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from glider ru30 deployed by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; Center for Ocean Observing Leadership (RU COOL) in the Mid-Atlantic Bight from 2019-10-15 to 2019-11-06 (NCEI Accession 0239028)

This project integrated a deep rated version of the Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET)-based pH sensor, the Deep ISFET pH, into a Slocum Webb G2 glider. The pH sensor unit is complemented with existing glider sensors including a CTD, a WETLabs BB2FL ECO puck configured for simultaneous chlorophyll fluorescence and optical backscatter measurements, and an Aanderaa Optode for measuring dissolved oxygen. This approximately 15- to 30-day deployment near Sandy Hook, NJ is running a cross-shelf transect to the shelf break north of Hudson Canyon to sample in Atlantic sea scallop habitat. Then the glider will turn and fly back to shore in a west-southwest direction to cover more sea scallop and Atlantic surfclam habitat with possible recovery targeted for Barnegat, NJ. However, if pH data are still stable after 15 days (no increased time lag response due to biofouling), the glider will turn southeast and head back to the shelf break then fly back inshore toward Atlantic City.

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.
