    This project is conducting a 2-year baseline survey with a pair of gliders deployed in each season, and a 3rd glider deployed three times per year to fill coverage gaps in the seasonal glider deployments from the onset of seasonal stratification associated with the Cold Pool formation in the spring to the physical breakdown in the fall. The gliders are integrated with a full complement of available sensors to simultaneously map oceanographic and ecological variables. For this gap-fill deployment, the glider is equipped with a CTD and pH sensor, a WETLabs FLBBCD ECO puck configured for simultaneous chlorophyll fluorescence and optical backscatter measurements, an Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler (AZFP) multi-frequency echo sounder for active acoustic detection of pelagic organisms (transducers configured for zooplankton using 120, 200, 455, 769 kHz), and a VMT fish telemetry receiver to track tagged species moving through the region. This approximately 21- to 30-day deployment out of Sayreville, New Jersey will run a zig-zag transect along the coast of New Jersey, in and around current and planned offshore wind lease areas, with a planned recovery out of Tuckerton, New Jersey. The real-time dataset contains CTD, chlorophyll a, CDOM, optical backscatter, and pH measurements. Other carbonate chemistry data and acoustically-derived data will be processed post-deployment.
