Spray glider observations in support of MAB-SWOT

The MAB-SWOT project was a part of the ‘Adopt-A-Crossover’ Consortium (swot-adac.org) that sought to capitalize on the rapid-repeat calibration/validation (CalVal) phase of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission. MAB-SWOT focused on the SWOT crossover offshore of the East Coast of the US. In addition to Spray gliders, the MAB-SWOT array included CPIESs, HF radars, and moored sensors. Gliders were primarily tasked with station keeping in coordination with the array of CPIES.
