This dataset includes physical oceanographic data collected from seagliders in the North Atlantic Ocean and North Pacific Ocean by Oregon State University and University of Washington from 2002-09-11 to 2016-02-06. These data include measurements of water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, CDOM, optical backscatter, and others. Seaglider is a buoyancy driven autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) developed by scientists and engineers at the University of Washington's School of Oceanography and Applied Physics Laboratory. Seagliders are designed to glide from the ocean surface to a programmed depth and back while measuring temperature, salinity, depth-averaged current, and other quantities along a sawtooth trajectory through the water. Seaglider has entered wide use in scientific deployments. They are designed for missions in range of several thousand kilometers and durations of many months. Seagliders are commanded remotely and report their measurements in near real time via wireless telemetry.
