Physical trajectory profile data from glider Sam deployed by University of South Florida in the Gulf of Mexico from 2017-02-14 to 2017-03-09 (NCEI Accession 0161714)

The focus of this deployment is the collection of multiple acoustic datasets and water column parameters to be used toward assisting fish stock assessments.

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