TZCF Oceanographic Survey (SE0802, EK60). Oceanographic data were collected along the 158°W Meridional from 22°30′N-35°00′N. CTD cats were conducted at predetermined stations. CTDs were equipped with oxygen sensors and fluorometers, and chlorophyll and nutrients were measured at discrete depths. Biological backscatter and currents were monitored using the EK60 echosounder system (38, 70, and 120 kHz) and an RD Instruments ADCP along the transect. Shipboard visual surveys were conducted for marine debris and marine mammals. An UAS was tested for operations flying a glider at a predefined survey pattern.
