IOOS Glider - RMI Eco-gliders - ru43-20260731T1602

This glider is equipped with a CTD, a WETLabs FLBBCD ECO puck configured for simultaneous chlorophyll fluorescence and optical backscatter measurements, an Aanderaa Optode for measuring dissolved oxygen, a DMON passive acoustic sensor for the detection of marine mammals, and an Rx-LIVE 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, optical backscatter, and dissolved oxygen measurements. The display of baleen whale occurrence information will be available in near real-time on the Robots4Whales website robots4whales.whoi.edu.
