IOOS Glider - Sustained Underwater Glider Observations for Improving Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Intensity Forecast - ru22-20190820T1327-delayed

This project supports the deployment and realtime data delivery of autonomous underwater gliders in the coastal ocean to better resolve and understand essential ocean features and processes that contribute to hurricane intensification or weakening prior to making landfall. This is a partnership between NOAA Ocean and Atmospheric Research (OAR) through the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) and Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) regional associations such as MARACOOS, SECOORA, CariCOOS and institutions including the University of Puerto Rico, University of the Virgin Islands, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, University of Delaware, and Rutgers University. The goal of the project is to provide realtime data for ocean model validation and assimilation throughout hurricane season. This project is supported by the Disaster Recovery Act. The glider was deployed SE of Delaware Bay and will transect SE, then SW, then NW. This real-time dataset contains CTD, chlorphyll a, CDOM and optical backscatter measurements.cdm_data_type = TrajectoryProfileVARIABLES:bb3slo_is_installed (sci_bb3slo_is_installed, bool)bb3slo_num_fields_to_send (c_bb3slo_num_fields_to_send, nodim)bb3slo_on (c_bb3slo_on, sec)bb3slo_temp (sci_bb3slo_temp, nodim)bb3slo_timestamp (sci_bb3slo_timestamp, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)bbfl2s_is_installed (sci_bbfl2s_is_installed, bool)bbfl2s_temp (sci_bbfl2s_temp, nodim)bbfl2s_timestamp (sci_bbfl2s_timestamp, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)beta_470nm (Beta 470nm at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)beta_470nm_reference (Beta 470nm Reference at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)beta_470nm_signal (Beta 470nm Signal at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)beta_532nm (Beta 532nm at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)beta_532nm_reference (Beta 532nm Reference at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)beta_532nm_signal (Beta 532nm Signal at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)beta_660nm (Beta 660nm at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)beta_660nm_reference (Beta 660nm Reference at 117 degrees, m-1 sr-1)...
