This dataset includes low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from glider ng665 deployed by US Navy Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) in the Caribbean Sea from 2025-06-25 to 2025-10-28.

The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) received the data in this dataset from the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) National Glider Data Assembly Center (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.

The data producer provided this summary: Slocum Glider data collected by Naval Oceanographic Office for public release purposes.
