IOOS Glider - MARACOOS - blue-20210921T1318

This glider deployment is part of continuing Investigation of Mid-Atlantic Cold Pool Dynamics: The Ocean Glider Component. The program goal is to measure the seasonal-varying 1km-100km features of the Mid-Atlantic Cold Pool in order to validate regional and global numerical ocean models and to investigate the Cold Pool\'s role in modulating hurricane intensity. The glider is equipped with a CTD, a WETLabs Scientific 3-channel puck to measure chlorophyll a, backscatter (700nm), and CDOM and an Aanderaa 3830 oxygen optode. The glider is planned sample along a triangle in the Southern New England Bight region south of Martha’s Vineyard two times over approximately 40 days.cdm_data_type = TrajectoryProfileVARIABLES:beta_700nm (Beta 700nm at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)cdom (1e-9)chlorophyll_a (kg.m-3)commanded_alt_time (c_alt_time, sec)commanded_ballast_pumped (c_ballast_pumped, cc)commanded_climb_target_depth (c_climb_target_depth, m)commanded_dive_target_depth (c_dive_target_depth, m)commanded_heading (c_heading, rad)commanded_science_send_all (c_science_send_all, bool)commanded_thruster_on (c_thruster_on, %)commanded_weight_drop (c_weight_drop, bool)commanded_wpt_lat (c_wpt_lat, lat)commanded_wpt_lon (c_wpt_lon, lon)commanded_wpt_x_lmc (c_wpt_x_lmc, m)commanded_wpt_y_lmc (c_wpt_y_lmc, m)conductivity (Sea Water Electrical Conductivity, S.m-1)crs (http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/4326)ctd41cp_timestamp (sci_ctd41cp_timestamp, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)density (Sea Water Density, kg.m-3)depth (m)dr_latitude (m_lat, degrees decimal minutes)...
