Eastern Gulf of Mexico glider deployment M66 (2016-07-29 – 2016-08-12) – tag telemetry receptions

A Slocum Glider was deployed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico off Tampa Bay in July and August 2016. As the glider traversed the transit path, it collected measurements at various depths from ~2 m to near the seafloor or up to 200 m. While the glider was deployed at sea, it surfaced and communicated to an onshore control station at predetermined intervals. A decimated selection of vehicle and science measurement was transmitted during the surface transmissions, and the relevant data became available through a University of South Florida (USF) web site. After the glider’s recovery at the end of the deployment, the complete measurement suite was downloaded from the vehicle, then was processed and made available through the USF site including a national data archive. The measurements in this data set included acoustic tag telemetry detections of tagged red grouper and red snapper, as well as location fixes for the glider. Other datasets for this deployment included environmental water quality parameters, passive acoustic recordings, and echosounder water column data. The glider was deployed on 2016-07-29 at the 30 m isobath. It traversed for a week to the northwest before turning around and returning along a similar route to the southeast. It was recovered on 2016-08-12, near the deployment site. The intent was for the glider to follow the progression of the Gulfstream Natural Gas Pipeline, collecting water quality and acoustic datasets. This dataset contains the tag telemetry receptions for a cohort of tagged red groupers and red snappers, as well as a fixed sound source.

Other related datasets include additional results from this glider, M66, and gliders M69, M70, and M72.

2016年7月至8月，一台斯洛克姆滑翔机（Slocum Glider）在墨西哥湾东部坦帕湾外海部署。滑翔机沿航行路径移动时，在约2米至海底附近或最深200米的不同深度采集测量数据。滑翔机在海上部署期间，会按预定间隔浮出水面并与岸基控制站通信。浮出水面时，会传输经过精简的载体和科学测量数据子集，相关数据可通过南佛罗里达大学（University of South Florida，USF）网站获取。部署结束后滑翔机回收，完整的测量数据集从设备下载，经处理后通过USF网站（含国家数据档案）开放获取。本数据集包含带标签红鲷鱼和红笛鲷的声学标签遥测（acoustic tag telemetry）探测数据，以及滑翔机的定位数据。本次部署的其他数据集包括环境水质参数（water quality parameters）、被动声学记录（passive acoustic recordings）和回声测深仪水柱数据（echosounder water column data）。滑翔机于2016年7月29日在30米等深线（isobath）处部署，向西北方向航行一周后折返，沿相似路线向东南返回，于2016年8月12日在部署点附近回收。本次任务旨在让滑翔机沿墨西哥湾流天然气管道行进，采集水质和声学数据集。

其他相关数据集包括本滑翔机（M66）及M69、M70、M72滑翔机的补充结果。
