IOOS Glider - CONVERGE - ud_134-20150122T1955

The purpose of this glider mission is to do station keeping to resolve the time series of Palmer Deep within the operating CODAR fields off of Anvers Island.  This multi-platform field study will investigate the impact of coastal physical processes (e.g. tides, currents, upwelling events, sea-ice) on Ad�lie penguin foraging ecology in the vicinity of Palmer Deep, off Anvers Island, WAP. Guided by real-time surface convergence and divergences based on remotely sensed surface current maps derived from a coastal network of High Frequency Radars (HFRs), a multidisciplinary research team will adaptively sample the distribution of phytoplankton and zooplankton, which influence Ad�lie penguin foraging ecology, to understand how local oceanographic processes structure the ecosystem.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)...
