This project is conducting a seasonal baseline survey with a pair of gliders deployed in each season over two years with a full complement of available sensors to simultaneously map oceanographic and ecological variables. This glider is equipped with a coupled CTD/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 and 769 kHz), and a Vemco VMT fish telemetry receiver to track tagged species moving through the region. This approximately 21- to 30-day deployment out of Manasquan, 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 and optical backscatter measurements, and pH measurements. Acoustically-derived data will be processed post-deployment.
