    • Physical trajectory profile data from glider ud_476 deployed by University of Delaware; College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment in the Eastern Pacific Ocean from 2018-05-01 to 2018-05-13 (NCEI Accession 0239599)

    Metadata Updated: March 17, 2023

    The goal of this project is to measure the sub-surface environmental conditions in the White Shark Cafe, halfway between Hawaii and Baja, California. This area is frequented by White sharks, as well as other large marine mammals and sharks, and researchers do not understand what is attracting animals to this apparent ocean desert. The glider will concurrently record detections of acoustic tags carried by White sharks or other tagged animals in the region to help us census the marine life present during the study.

    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.
