Slocum glider deployed by the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) in the Perth Canyon in February-March 2014 (Glider085_PC14)

This dataset represents Slocum glider data collected by Glider085 deployed in the Perth Canyon, during a combined ocean glider deployment in conjunction with the IMOS ocean glider facility, in February - March 2014. The joint deployment aimed to provide field data for validating numerical models in the region including: BLUElink, Sparse Hydrodynamic Ocean Code (SHOC) and Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS).Slocum glider data from the oceans around Australia have been collected by DSTO on an ongoing basis. The data are obtained from an onboard suite of instruments which currently is a Seabird-SBE41 CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) only.The variables in this datasets are water temperature, conductivity, salinity and sea water velocity.

本数据集涵盖2014年2月至3月期间，于珀斯峡谷部署的Glider085号斯洛克姆滑翔机所采集的观测数据。此次部署系与IMOS海洋滑翔机设施合作开展的联合海洋滑翔机任务的一部分。该联合任务旨在为区域内数值模型的验证提供实地数据支撑，涉及模型包括BLUElink、稀疏流体动力海洋代码（SHOC）及区域海洋模拟系统（ROMS）。澳大利亚周边海域的斯洛克姆滑翔机数据由DSTO持续采集，数据来源于滑翔机搭载的仪器套件——目前该套件仅配备一台Seabird-SBE41型CTD仪（电导率、温度、深度）。本数据集包含的变量有水温、电导率、盐度及海水流速。
