IOOS Glider - MARACOOS - unit_648-20230324T1507

This glider mission is one of a series of MARACOOS surveys of shelf hydrography over the northern mid-Atlantic Bight. The glider will survey the shelf in a zig-zag pattern starting in Rhode Island Sound south of the Narragansett Bay mouth and ending off the New Jersey coast at Tuckerton. In addition to the standard payload CTD, the glider carries an oxygen optode and a SUNA-V2 nitrate sensor. The mission will provide novel observations of the spatial variability of dissolved nitrate, an important phytoplankton nutrient, during the spring bloom period.cdm_data_type = TrajectoryProfileVARIABLES:commanded_ballast_pumped (c_ballast_pumped, cc)commanded_fin (c_fin, rad)commanded_wpt_lat (c_wpt_lat, lat)commanded_wpt_lon (c_wpt_lon, lon)conductivity (Sea Water Electrical Conductivity, S.m-1)crs (http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/4326)density (Sea Water Density, kg.m-3)depth (m)dr_latitude (m_lat, degrees decimal minutes)dr_longitude (m_lon, degrees decimal minutes)gps_latitude (m_gps_lat, lat)gps_longitude (m_gps_lon, degrees decimal minutes)instrument_ctd (CTD Metadata, 1)instrument_optode (Oxygen Optode)instrument_suna (SUNA Nitrate Sensor)lat_uv (Depth-averaged Latitude, degrees_north)latitude (Profile Latitude, degrees_north)lon_uv (Depth-averaged Longitude, degrees_east)longitude (Profile Longitude, degrees_east)measured_ballast_pumped (m_ballast_pumped, cc)measured_battery (m_battery, volts)measured_battpos (m_battpos, in)...
