IOOS Glider - RMI Eco-gliders - ru39-20240429T1522-delayed

This project is conducting a seasonal baseline survey with a pair of gliders deployed in each season over two years with a full complement of available sensors to simultaneously map oceanographic and ecological variables. This glider is equipped with a coupled CTD/pH sensor, a WETLabs FLBBCD ECO puck configured for simultaneous chlorophyll fluorescence and optical backscatter measurements, an Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler (AZFP) multi-frequency echo sounder for active acoustic detection of pelagic organisms (transducers configured for zooplankton using 120, 200, 455 and 769 kHz), and a Vemco VMT fish telemetry receiver to track tagged species moving through the region. This approximately 21- to 30-day deployment out of Manasquan, New Jersey will run a zig-zag transect along the coast of New Jersey, in and around current and planned offshore wind lease areas, with a planned recovery out of Tuckerton, New Jersey. The real-time dataset contains CTD, chlorophyll a, CDOM and optical backscatter measurements, and pH measurements. Acoustically-derived data will be processed post-deployment.cdm_data_type = TrajectoryProfileVARIABLES:azfp_file_offset (sci_azfp_file_offset, nodim)azfp_is_installed (sci_azfp_is_installed, bool)azfp_on (c_azfp_on, sec)azfp_pause_signal (sci_azfp_pause_signal, bool)azfp_run_state (sci_azfp_run_state, nodim)beta_700nm (Beta 700nm at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)beta_700nm_reference (Beta 700nm Reference at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)beta_700nm_signal (Beta 700nm Signal at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)cdom (1e-9)cdom_reference (CDOM Reference Signal, nodim)cdom_signal (nodim)chlorophyll_a (kg.m-3)chlorophyll_a_qartod_gross_range_test (Gross Range Test Quality Flag)chlorophyll_a_qartod_summary_flag (QARTOD Summary Quality Flag)chlorophyll_a_reference (nodim)chlorophyll_a_signal (nodim)...
