Trajectory profile data from glider ru43, including pH, Total Alkalinity, and Aragonite Saturation State, deployed by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in the Mid-Atlantic Bight from 2024-09-04 to 2024-10-05 (NCEI Accession 0306280)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 29, 2026 at 08:36 PM | Dataset Last Updated: July 18, 2025 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains the trajectory profile data from glider ru43 from one seasonal deployment (2024-09-04 to 2024-10-05). This deployment (glider trajectory ru43-20240904T1539) was part of a project to conduct a seasonal 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 deployment out of Sandy Hook, New Jersey ran a zig-zag transect along the coast of New Jersey, in and around current and planned offshore wind lease areas, and ended near Tuckerton, New Jersey. This delayed mode, high-resolution dataset contains CTD and chlorophyll a measurements, as well as pH, total alkalinity, and aragonite saturation state. Salinity, density, pH, TA, and aragonite saturation state have been calculated from raw variables. Acoustically-derived data are processed separately and not included in this package.
