Physical trajectory profile data from glider ud_134 deployed by University of Delaware in the Mid-Atlantic Bight from 2017-07-25 to 2017-08-14 (NCEI Accession 0239034)

The goal of this project is to test and deploy a new WetLabs optical sensor on a Slocum glider. The name and type of the sensor are currently classified. The glider will be deployed off the Delaware coast, and run offshore to cross chlorophyll fronts. The glider will profile to a maximum of 100m. The planned mission length is two weeks. This dataset contains CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) measurements only. Additional products may be released at a later date.

The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) received the data in this archival package from the Integrated Ocean Observing System's National Glider Data Assembly Center (IOOS NGDAC). The IOOS NGDAC received the data in one or more netCDF files comprising an entire glider deployment. The data are measurements of physical oceanographic properties such as temperature, salinity, conductivity, and density. The IOOS NGDAC checked the files for compliance to their netCDF file convention, aggregated the files into a single netCDF file, and then submitted the file to NCEI for long-term preservation.
