IOOS Glider - MARACOOS - Mid Atlantic Regional Association of Coastal Ocean Observing System - sylvia-20180802T0930

This MARACOOS glider mission will survey the continental shelf and shelfbreak regions in the southern Mid-Atlantic Bight from Cape May, NJ down to Wachapreague, VA. The goal of the mission is to conduct mid-summer hydrographic survey of the MAB Cold Pool, quantify the water masses and the configuration of the shelfbreak front, and test the LISST sensor in a continental shelf setting. The glider is scheduled to be deployed on Thursday, August 2, 2018 and recovered on Monday August 20, 2018. The glider will be deployed near the 25 m isobath at off Avalon, NJ. It will then zig and zag down the shelf toward Wachepreague VA for recovery.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)platform (Platform Metadata, 1)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)pressure_qc (pressure Quality Flag)...
