    The Challenger Glider Mission is inspired by 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 subsurface velocity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, conductivity, salinity, and density profile observations. The RU29 planned mission extends south and east from Barbados to Trinidad, Tobago, and Guyana. 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.
