IOOS Glider - ud_476-20180501T1640

The goal of this project is to measure the sub-surface environmental conditions in the White Shark Cafe, halfway between Hawaii and Baja, California. This area is frequented by White sharks, as well as other large marine mammals and sharks, and researchers do not understand what is attracting animals to this apparent ocean desert. The glider will concurrently record detections of acoustic tags carried by White sharks or other tagged animals in the region to help us census the marine life present during the study.cdm_data_type = TrajectoryProfileVARIABLES:trajectory (Trajectory Name)wmo_idtime (Profile Time, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)latitude (Profile Latitude, degrees_north)longitude (Profile Longitude, degrees_east)profile_idtime_uv (Depth-averaged Time, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)lat_uv (Depth-averaged Latitude, degrees_north)lon_uv (Depth-averaged Longitude, degrees_east)u (Depth-averaged Eastward Sea Water Velocity, m s-1)v (Depth-averaged Northward Sea Water Velocity, m s-1)latitude_qc (latitude Variable Quality Flag)longitude_qc (longitude Variable Quality Flag)time_qc (time Variable Quality Flag)depth (m)depth_qc (depth Variable Quality Flag)pressure (Sea Water Pressure, decibars)pressure_qc (pressure Variable Quality Flag)conductivity (Sea Water Electrical Conductivity, S.m-1)conductivity_qc (conductivity Variable Quality Flag)density (Sea Water Density, kg.m-3)density_qc (density Variable Quality Flag)...
