    Metadata Updated: September 27, 2025

    This project supports the deployment and realtime data delivery of autonomous underwater gliders in the coastal ocean to better resolve and understand essential ocean features and processes that contribute to hurricane intensification or weakening prior to making landfall. This is a partnership between NOAA Ocean and Atmospheric Research (OAR) through the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) and Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) regional associations such as MARACOOS, SECOORA, CariCOOS and institutions including the University of Puerto Rico, University of the Virgin Islands, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, University of Delaware, and Rutgers University. The goal of the project is to provide realtime data for ocean model validation and assimilation throughout hurricane season. This project is supported by the Disaster Recovery Act. The glider was deployed out of Tuckerton, NJ and will transect offshore along the Endurance line to the shelf break, south along the break then back toward Tuckerton, NJ with an inshore point at about 30 meters depth. This real-time dataset contains CTD measurements from both a Seabird Scientific pumped CTD and an RBRlegato3 inductive CTD. This is the fourth deployment of this glider of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season with the same mission objectives as the previous. This is a ‘check-out’ deployment for the newly purchased glider to determine if there are any hardware issues that need to be addressed ahead of hurricane season.
