The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from glider SG630 deployed by Caribbean Coastal Ocean Observing System (CARICOOS) and NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) in the Caribbean Sea from 2023-08-26 to 2023-10-26 (NCEI Accession 0291818) |
| Abstract: | Underwater glider data gathered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in partnership with several national and international institutions. This dataset includes temperature and salinity profiles up to 1000 m depth with mean vertical resolution of 1.5 m and mean spatial resolution of 2 km per profile, and is part of a network of underwater gliders operating in the Caribbean Sea and the southwest Tropical North Atlantic since 2014. This glider network is aimed at providing upper ocean data to improve our knowledge on the ocean response to Tropical Cyclone (TC) force winds and for TC intensification studies and forecasts. All the data collected are transmitted in full resolution and in near real-time (maximum delay of 30 min) to the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Glider Data Assembly Center for archival and distribution and to the Global Telecommunication System (GTS) for assimilation into weather and climate forecast models. The data are also archived at NOAA / National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). 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. |
