IOOS Glider - MARACOOS - blue-20191014T1359

This glider deployment is part of continuing Investigation of Mid-Atlantic Cold Pool Dynamics: The Ocean Glider Component. The program goal is to measure the seasonal-varying 1km-100km features of the Mid-Atlantic Cold Pool in order to validate regional and global numerical ocean models and to investigate the Cold Pool\'s role in modulating hurricane intensity. The glider was deployed south of the Rhode Island Sound. The glider is equipped with a CTD, a WETLabs Scientific 3-channel puck to measure chlorophyll a, backscatter (700nm), and CDOM and an Aanderaa 3830 oxygen optode. The glider will saw-tooth its way southward toward the western corner of the OOI Pioneer Array glider domain and then southwestward for about 100km and then northeastward to its deployment location. This deployment is scheduled for a 90-day mission plan.cdm_data_type = TrajectoryProfileVARIABLES: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)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)longitude (Profile Longitude, degrees_east)precise_lat (Precise Latitude, degrees_north)precise_lon (Precise Longitude, degrees_east)precise_time (seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)pressure (Sea Water Pressure, decibars)...
