IOOS Glider - NOAA OAP (Ocean Acidification Program)/IOOS, Sustained Underwater Glider Observations for Improving Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Intensity Forecast - ru30-20220906T1523- delayed

This project is conducting seasonal deployments to investigate carbonate chemistry and monitor ocean acidification in the Mid-Atlantic Bight. The glider used for the automated observation includes an integrated deep rated version of the Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET)-based pH sensor. The pH sensor unit is complemented with existing glider sensors including a CTD, a WETLabs FLBBCD ECO puck configured for simultaneous chlorophyll fluorescence and optical backscatter measurements, and an Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler (AZFP) multi-frequency echo sounder for active acoustic detection of pelagic organisms. This deployment out of Sandy Hook, NJ ran cross-shelf transects zig-zagging southward and ultimately coming back inshore along E line for a recovery out of Tuckerton, NJ. This glider track covered Atlantic sea scallop and Atlantic surfclam habitats in the MAB. This delayed mode dataset contains CTD, chlorophyll a, CDOM and optical backscatter measurements, and post-processed pH data. The AZFP dataset is processed separately and not included here (to access this dataset, please email [e-mail]). This is the second glider deployment in 2022 for this project. Delayed mode dataset. This deployment was ended early due to the slowly-flying glider that would not have enough battery to complete the mission.cdm_data_type = TrajectoryProfileVARIABLES:aragonite_saturation_state (1)beta_700nm (Beta 700nm at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)cdom (1e-9)chlorophyll_a (kg.m-3)conductivity (Sea Water Electrical Conductivity, S.m-1)conductivity_lag_shifted (Conductivity - Thermal Lag Adjusted, S.m-1)density (Sea Water Density, kg.m-3)density_lag_shifted (Density - Thermal Lag Adjusted, kg.m-3)depth (m)depth_interpolated (meters)instrument_azfp (AZFP)instrument_ctd (CTD Metadata, 1)instrument_flbbcd (ECO Triplet Puck)...
