    • Physical trajectory profile data from glider silbo deployed by Teledyne Webb Research Corporation (TWRC) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2018-05-25 to 2019-07-16 (NCEI Accession 0239141)

    Metadata Updated: March 17, 2023

    Glider deployed from the Canary Islands and initially will fly towards Cape Verde, then transit west across the Atlantic with hopes of catching the Gulf stream for a recovery near Cape Cod, MA, USA. The Silbo Challenger mission is a partnership between industry and academia which will exercise a number of new Slocum glider features and long term deployment strategies including shoreside piloting tools, glider firmware, battery design, thruster design, hull design and low cost deployment and recovery in support of open ocean deployments. Temperature and salinity profiles will also be submitted to the IOOS National Data Assembly Center which will transmit the profiles to the Global Telecommunication System for assimilation into ocean forecasting models.

    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.
