IOOS Glider - Autonomous Assessment of pH and Plankton in the Southeastern Gulf of Alaska - ru26d-20220714T2322

Rutgers University will deploy and operate a glider in the Southeast Gulf of Alaska for about a 60-day deployment(s) in July-September 2022 to assess seawater pH and other oceanographic measurements including temperature, salinity, optical properties (i.e., chlorophyll, CDOM, backscatter), and dissolved oxygen. The glider will be deployed from a small vessel off the coast of Sitka, AK and conduct a zig-zag transect southward to Ketchikan (depending on currents), then return north to Sitka for a planned recovery by the R/V Rachel Carson.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_climb_target_depth (c_climb_target_depth, m)commanded_de_oil_vol (c_de_oil_vol, cc)commanded_dive_target_depth (c_dive_target_depth, m)commanded_fin (c_fin, rad)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)...
