IOOS Glider - Exploration of the Deep Ocean with Teams of Long-Endurance Ocean Robots - sg204- 20220729T1929-delayed

This project aimed to demonstrate long endurance autonomous exploration using multi-robot teams. The project  culminated in a 10-day demonstration on the Cascadia margin (Hydrate Ridge) consisting of a Wave Glider tending and providing navigational aiding to a Seaglider using a one-way travel-time inverted ultrashort baseline system (OWTTIUSBL).   The system represents a proof-of-concept for ship-less long-range exploration.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)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 (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)pressure_qc (pressure Quality Flag)profile_idprofile_lat_qc (profile_lat Quality Flag)...
