RU31 Slocum Glider Deployment 473, Mississippi-Alabama Shelf, March 22-April 7, 2016

Slocum Glider RU31 was deployed on the Mississippi-Alabama Shelf March 22nd through April 7 of 2016. The system transited southward from Petit Bois Island to the shelf-break where it spent a number of days sampling above a network of moorings. This deployment was coordinated prior to and during the spring cruise.

Slocum滑翔机（Slocum Glider）RU31于2016年3月22日至4月7日在密西西比-阿拉巴马陆架（Mississippi-Alabama Shelf）完成部署。该滑翔机从佩蒂博伊斯岛向南航行至陆架坡折带（shelf-break），并在该区域滞留多日，对一处锚定观测站网络上方的水域开展采样工作。本次部署的统筹协调工作于春季航次启动前及航次执行期间完成。
