Physical trajectory profile data from glider ru31 deployed by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; Center for Ocean Observing Leadership (RU COOL) in the Gulf of Mexico from 2016-03-22 to 2016-04-07 (NCEI Accession 0238816)

Glider deployed as part of the CONsortium for oil spill exposure pathways in COastal River-Dominated Ecosystems (CONCORDE). The goal of the project is to use a combination of observations and numerical modeling to Characterize the complex 4D physical, geochemical, and bio-optical fields influenced by pulsed river discharge to understand potential 3-D pathways of ODS to the coast and mechanisms for enhanced interactions of ODS with plankton and suspended sediment. This glider is equipped to provide measurements of temperature, conductivity, salinity, density, oxygen concentration, currents, chlorophyll a, back-scatter and colored-dissolved organic matter; however, the current dataset includes only temperature, conductivity, salinity and density.

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.
