    • PacIOOS Ocean Gliders: SeaGlider 139: Mission 6

    Metadata Updated: October 7, 2023

    As a part of PacIOOS, ocean gliders provide very detailed information about the physical and chemical condition of the waters around the Hawaiian Islands. Additionally, these data get used in computer models to make predictions about currents. Ocean gliders are small, free-swimming, unmanned vehicles that can cruise the ocean for several months gathering information about the temperature, salinity, and other water properties between the surface and 1000 m depth. A pressure sensor on the glider is able to record the depth throughout the dive. Because gliders are unmanned, they communicate with scientists on land when they are at the surface using an antenna on the end of the glider. The SeaGlider autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) was designed at the University of Washington (UW) Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). These data are taken from Mission 6 of SeaGlider 139.

    Lineage 2009-03-21T00:00:00Z Deployed off Barber's Point by "Force". 2009-05-06T00:00:00Z Stopped communicating: deployed 46 days. 2009-05-07T00:00:00Z Lost: searched by R/V Klaus Wyrtki; used pinger to try and get slant range; no response from glider. 2009-05-23T00:00:00Z Recovered by Fisherman: problem with pitch mechanism; glider couldn't pitch to an angle appropriate for communication. 2009-05-29T00:00:00Z Shipped glider to UW for evaluation and recalibration. 2022-11-17T23:30:00Z Dataset identifier modified from "sg139_6" to "sg_139_006" to better match PacIOOS naming conventions. 2023-02-07T18:35:00Z Renamed "depth" variable to "altitude" per the ERDDAP convention for negative ocean depths (positive=up). Added "dive_number" variable.
