Title: Water temperature, salinity and other data collected from SeaGlider 573 in South Atlantic Ocean from 2012-09-25 to 2013-02-15 (NCEI Accession 0131501)
Abstract: This dataset contains data in NetCDF format from Seaglider 573. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization-SOCCO Southern Ocean Seasonal Cycle Experiment (CSIRO)- (SOSCEx) was planned around five cruises to the Subantarctic Zone (SAZ) between the austral winter of 2012 and the late summer of 2013. Two autonomous SeaGliders (SG574 and SG573) were deployed south of Gough Island in the South-East Atlantic Ocean at 42.4S, 9.9W and 43.0S, 11.0W, respectively. Their deployment occurred in the central SAZ region of the Southern Ocean. The gliders were deployed on 20 September 2012 and 25 September 2012, respectively and both were retrieved on 15 February 2013 resulting in continuous sampling for 148 and 143 days (or 5.5 months) per glider. Data from SG574 are archived in NCEI Accession 0131762. Refer to Swart et al., 2014, JMS for further details.
