Physical trajectory profile data from glider ru28 deployed by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; Center for Ocean Observing Leadership (RU COOL) in the Mid-Atlantic Bight from 2019-09-26 to 2019-10-24 (NCEI Accession 0238812)

Deployment of a Slocum glider to perform seasonal surveys of dissolved oxygen concentrations in the shallow coastal waters of New Jersey. This deployment is part of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's yearly coastal waters oxygen monitoring efforts. This glider carried a CTD, Seabird Scientific ECO triplet fluorescence-backscatter-chlorophyll a sensor, Sequoia Scientific LISST 200x, SeaView wave sensor, Vemco Mobile Transceiver and Aanderaa dissolved oxygen sensor.

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.
