The Palmer Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) study area is located to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula extending South and North of the Palmer Basin from onshore to several hundred kilometers off shore. Palmer Station is one of the three United States research stations located in Antarctica. It is on Anvers Island midway down the Antarctic Peninsula at latitude 64.7 South, longitude 64.0 West. The Palmer LTER studies a polar marine biome with research focused on the Antarctic pelagic marine ecosystem, including sea ice habitats, regional oceanography and terrestrial nesting sites of seabird predators. The glider was deployed from the Palmer Station boating area, just north of Palmer Canyon, and performed a 400km transect from the northeast to the southwest to the Rothera british Antarctic base, where it was recovered. This high-resolution dataset contains conductivity, temperature, salinity, density, chlorophyll a, CDOM, phycoerytherin, beta470nm, beta532nm and beta660nm measurements. Delayed mode dataset.
