Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from glider sylvia deployed by Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) in the North Atlantic from 2023-06-09 to 2023-06-11 (NCEI Accession 0279005)

The Predictions of AcousticS with Smart Experimental Networks of GlidERS (PASSENGERS) project is a partnership between universities and the Naval Research Laboratory to improve the capability of data-assimilative ocean models to predict acoustic propagation in dynamic oceanography environments. It includes the deployment of teams of gliders in small (10 km) spatial footprints with integrated passive acoustics focused on mapping the physical and acoustic environment in the dynamic region of the Atlantis II Seamounts.

The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) received the data in this dataset from the Integrated Ocean Observing System's National Glider Data Assembly Center (IOOS NGDAC). The IOOS NGDAC received the data in one or more netCDF files comprising an entire glider deployment. The data are measurements of physical oceanographic properties such as temperature, salinity, conductivity, and density. The IOOS NGDAC checked the files for compliance to their netCDF file convention, aggregated the files into a single netCDF file, and then submitted the file to NCEI for long-term preservation. Data files may be either low resolution real-time or full resolution. Full resolution files are designated as "delayed" in the netCDF file name.
