Physical trajectory profile data from glider clark deployed by Teledyne Webb Research Corporation (TWRC) in the Mid-Atlantic Bight from 2016-06-24 to 2017-02-15 (NCEI Accession 0239463)

Metadata Updated: March 17, 2023

Deployment of a Slocum glider with a thermal-recharging engine. Low-cost, high energy density, safe, long-duration easily recharged power supplies have been identified as a high priority technology in the most recent Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Master Plan. This project is designed to address the underwater energy issue by using phase change materials to harvest the ocean's thermal energy for battery recharging. The Slocum thermal glider clark represents the culmination of these efforts. This dataset contains CTD profiles to demonstrate the impact of the thermal glider data in the Caribbean on hurricane intensity forecasting as well as investigate water mass transport through the Anegada Passage.

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.
