IOOS Glider - NYDEC Ocean Indicators Project - Maracoos_06-20250520T1555-delayed

Stony Brook University is engaged in a long-term study of conditions in the New York Bight. This ocean glider deployment was funded by the MARACOOS Project through the University of Delaware.  The Slocum gliders used in this project are small, free-swimming, unmanned vehicles that use changes in buoyancy to move vertically and horizontally through the water column in a saw-tooth pattern. They are deployed for days to several months and gather detailed information about the physical, chemical and biological processes of the world\'s oceans. The Slocum glider was designed and oceans. built by Teledyne Webb Research Corporation, Falmouth, MA, USA.  This dataset contains observational sub-surface profile data of the water-column.cdm_data_type = TrajectoryProfileVARIABLES:backscatter (Optical backscatter wavelength 700 nm, ft)backscatter_qc (Backscatter Quality Flag)chlorophyll (Chlorophyll-a, kg.m-3)chlorophyll_qc (Chlorophyll Quality Flag)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)instrument_fluor (Seabird Glider Payload Fluorometer)instrument_optode (Oxygen Optode)lat_qc (lat Quality Flag)lat_uv (Depth-averaged Latitude, degrees_north)lat_uv_qc (lat_uv Quality Flag)latitude (Profile Latitude, degrees_north)lon_qc (lon Quality Flag)lon_uv (Depth-averaged Longitude, degrees_east)lon_uv_qc (lon_uv Quality Flag)...
