IOOS Glider - Monterey Bay Biogeochemical Glider Observations - sp029-20231207T1821

This dataset is comprised of routine deployments of two underwater gliders off the coast of Central California, inside or near Monterey Bay. Missions typically last several weeks, and include process studies inside Monterey Bay, or transects to ~250 km offshore from Monterey Bay. The gliders are equipped with a CTD to measure temperature, salinity, and depth, as well as biogeochemical sensors for dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence or optical backscatter, and pH.cdm_data_type = TrajectoryProfileVARIABLES:chlorophyll_a (Chlorophyll-a concentration, kg.m-3)chlorophyll_a_qc (chlorophyll_a 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)dissolved_oxygen (micromol.kg-1)dissolved_oxygen_qc (dissolved_oxygen Quality Flag)instrument_ctd (CTD Metadata, 1)instrument_doxyinstrument_fchllat_qc (latitude Quality Flag)lat_uv (Depth-averaged Latitude, degrees_north)lat_uv_qc (lat_uv Quality Flag)latitude (Profile Latitude, degrees_north)lon_qc (longitude 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)...
