IOOS Glider - NOAA OAP (Ocean Acidification Program)/IOOS, Sustained Underwater Glider Observations for Improving Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Intensity Forecast - ru30-20210716T1804-delayed

The glider used for the automated observation includes an integrated deep rated version of the Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET)-based pH sensor. The pH sensor unit is complemented with existing glider sensors including a CTD, a WETLabs FLBBCD ECO puck configured for simultaneous chlorophyll fluorescence and optical backscatter measurements, and an Aanderaa Optode for measuring dissolved oxygen.

Please note the oxygen sensor failed so dissolved oxygen measurements are not included in this dataset. This approximately 21 to 30 day deployment out of Tuckerton, NJ will run a cross-shelf transect (along E line) to an offshore waypoint north of Carteret Canyon, then transect SSW to Wilmington Canyon, then NW back to Tuckerton, NJ as the battery pack allows. This glider track will cover Atlantic sea scallop and Atlantic surfclam habitats in the southern MAB.
