IOOS Glider - Integrative Ocean Observing Systems: California Coast Trinidad Head Glider Line - sg686-20250109T1810

The Trinidad Head glider line aims to extend the time series of sustained glider-based measurements off the California that begun in 2014. Seaglider and SGX underwater gliders repeatedly occupy a single section that extends offshore from the continental slope to 40.05N, 129W. Gliders profile from the sea surface to 1000-m depth and back every 6 hours while traversing the line at a speed of roughly 20 km/day. The Trinidad Head line is sampled by a single glider, which is replaced as needed to maintain continuous occupation of the section.cdm_data_type = TrajectoryProfileVARIABLES:conductivity (Sea Water Electrical Conductivity, S.m-1)conductivity_qc (conductivity Quality Flag)density (Sea Water Density, kg.m-3)density_qc (density Quality Flag)depth (m)depth_qc (depth Quality Flag)dissolved_oxygen (micromol.kg-1)dissolved_oxygen_qc (dissolved_oxygen Quality Flag)instrument_ctd (CTD Metadata, 1)lat_qc (latitude Quality Flag)lat_uv (Depth-averaged Latitude, degrees_north)lat_uv_qc (lat_uv Quality Flag)latitude (Profile Latitude, degrees_north)lon_qc (longitude Quality Flag)lon_uv (Depth-averaged Longitude, degrees_east)lon_uv_qc (lon_uv Quality Flag)longitude (Profile Longitude, degrees_east)platform_meta (Platform Metadata, 1)precise_lat (Precise Latitude, degrees_north)precise_lon (Precise Longitude, degrees_east)precise_time (seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)pressure (Sea Water Pressure, decibars)...
