Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from glider ru23 deployed by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; Center for Ocean Observing Leadership (RU COOL) in the Mid-Atlantic Bight from 2023-03-20 to 2023-04-13 (NCEI Accession 0277661)

The Rutgers University Master of Operational Oceanography (MOO) is a compact 12-month Master of Science degree program that provides applied training for students. This glider deployment is being piloted and managed by the 2022-2023 class and will survey the Rutgers E-line, a cross-shelf transect extending from Atlantic City, NJ.

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.
