Physical trajectory profile data from glider ru24 deployed by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in the Southern Ocean from 2013-01-22 to 2013-01-30 (NCEI Accession 0137969)

The Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program in Antarctica is a long term study focused on understanding how the marine system regulates the ecology of the West Antarctic Peninsula. The project is focused on how the ecology is changing given the West Antarctic Peninsula is the fastest winter warming place on Earth. The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) received the data in this archival package from the Integrated Ocean Observing System's National Glider Data Assembly Center (IOOS NGDAC). The IOOS NGDAC received the data in one or more netCDF files comprising an entire glider deployment. The data are measurements of physical oceanographic properties such as temperature, salinity, conductivity, and density. The IOOS NGDAC checked the files for compliance to their netCDF file convention, aggregated the files into a single netCDF file, and then submitted the file to NCEI for long-term preservation.南极长期生态研究（Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）计划是一项长期研究项目，旨在探明海洋系统对西南极半岛生态的调控机制。鉴于西南极半岛是全球冬季升温速率最快的区域，该项目聚焦于此区域的生态演变过程。 美国国家环境信息中心（National Centers for Environmental Information, NCEI）从集成海洋观测系统国家滑翔机数据汇编中心（Integrated Ocean Observing System's National Glider Data Assembly Center, IOOS NGDAC）获取了本归档数据包中的数据集。IOOS NGDAC通过若干个netCDF格式文件接收了单次完整滑翔机部署任务的全部数据。该数据集为物理海洋学属性的实测数据，涵盖温度、盐度、电导率与密度等核心指标。IOOS NGDAC已对这些文件进行netCDF文件规范符合性检查，将多个文件整合为单个netCDF文件，随后将该文件提交至NCEI进行长期保存。
