IOOS Glider - LTER - ru26d-20250107T1348-delayed

The Palmer Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program in Antarctica is a long term study focused on understanding how the marine system regulates the ecology of the West Antarctic Peninsula. The project is focused on how the ecology is changing given the West Antarctic Peninsula is the fastest winter warming place on Earth. The purpose of this glider mission is to take cross sections of temperature, salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence, CDOM, and optical backscatter from the coast to slope regions near Palmer Station, Antarctica. The glider will conduct transects on the Palmer LTER sampling grid during the austral summer months.
