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 um_242 deployed by Rutgers University and UMaine (UMO) in the Gulf of Maine from 2023-08-03 to 2023-08-21 (NCEI Accession 0298943)
Abstract: This dataset includes low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from glider um_242 deployed by Rutgers University and UMaine (UMO) in the Gulf of Maine from 2023-08-03 to 2023-08-21 for the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) Optimizing Ocean Acidification Observations for Model Parameterization in the Coupled Slope Water System of the U.S. Northeast Large Marine Ecosystem and Sustained Underwater Glider Observations for Improving Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Intensity Forecast project.

The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) received the data in this dataset from the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) National Glider Data Assembly Center (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.

The data producer provided this summary: This project is conducting seasonal deployments to investigate carbonate chemistry and monitor ocean acidification in the Gulf of Maine. The glider used for the automated observation includes an integrated deep rated version of the Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET)-based pH sensor. The pH sensor unit is complemented with existing glider sensors including a CTD, a WETLabs FLBBCD ECO puck configured for simultaneous chlorophyll fluorescence and optical backscatter measurements, and an Aanderaa Optode for measuring dissolved oxygen. The real-time dataset contains CTD, chlorophyll a, CDOM and optical backscatter measurements. Dissolved oxygen and pH data will be processed post-deployment.
