This project supports the deployment and real-time data delivery of autonomous underwater gliders in the coastal ocean to better resolve and understand essential regional ocean features. The goal of the project is to provide real-time baseline data on the thermal structure of the Mid-Atlantic Bight shelf waters. This project's secondary mission is to compare experimental animal CTD tag with glider CTD measurements, as well as to test tag-collected CTD profile transmission rates to the Argos satellite system. The glider provides CTD, chlorophyll a concentrations, and CDOM concentrations. The experimental CTD tag measurements are logged externally to the glider science bay and are not available in this dataset.
