    • Physical trajectory profile data from glider blue deployed by University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth (UMassD) in the Mid-Atlantic Bight from 2017-08-31 to 2017-09-22 (NCEI Accession 0238799)

    Metadata Updated: February 1, 2025

    This glider deployment will be part of our continuing 'Investigation of Mid-Atlantic Cold Pool Dynamics: The Ocean Glider Component.' The program goal is to measure the seasonal-varying 1km-100km features of the Mid-Atlantic Cold Pool. To do this, we will deploy glider BLUE for its Mission-9 from UMassD's RV Lucky Lady at a site west of Gay Head Martha's Vineyard, MA (41 14.89 N/70 57.21 W). BLUE will be equipped with a CTD, optical measurements of chlorophyll, backscatter, CDOM, and oxygen. Glider BLUE will saw-tooth its way southward toward the western corner of the OOI Pioneer Array glider domain and then proceed to zig-zag across the shelf on to New Jersey (NJ), where it will be recovered about 21+days after deployment. During its transit, glider Blue will slice through the Cold Pool four times, providing valuable information on the seaward and landward extent of the Cold Pool throughout the northeastern MAB.

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