Physical trajectory profile data from glider ru29 deployed by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; Center for Ocean Observing Leadership (RU COOL) in the Caribbean Sea from 2021-06-30 to 2021-07-14 (NCEI Accession 0239547)

The Challenger Glider Mission is a re-creation of the first global scientific ocean survey conducted by the HMS Challenger from 1872-1876. The goals of the mission are to establish a collaborative international network of autonomous underwater glider ports, to assess global ocean model predictive skill while contributing real-time profile data for assimilation in ocean forecast models by operational centers worldwide, and to crowd source student-based ocean research and discovery. This glider is providing temperature, conductivity, salinity, density and current profile observations. The current profiles are logged via external Nortek AD2CP files and are not available in this real-time dataset. The glider is also equipped with a Cetacean Research Acousonde 3A passive acoustic recorder. RU29s planned mission extends from the US Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, St. Martin (Fr), Sint Maarten (NED), St. Barthélemy (Fr), Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Guadaloupe, areas commonly impacted by tropical cyclones. Real-time datasets will include CTD data that will be provided to the IOOS Glider DAC and GTS to support ocean and atmospheric weather forecasting.

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.
