Full resolution and low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from gliders submitted to NCEI by the IOOS National Glider Data Assembly Center (NGDAC) from 2009-05-17 to present

Metadata Updated: August 1, 2025

This collection includes full resolution and low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from gliders deployed by various institutions in seas world-wide from 2009-05-17 to present.

The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) received the data in this archival collection from the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) National Glider Data Assembly Center (NGDAC). The IOOS NGDAC received the data in the collected datasets in one or more netCDF files comprising an entire glider deployment. The data are measurements of physical oceanographic properties including 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.
