The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

Title: Low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from glider silbo deployed by Rutgers University, Rutgers University; Center for Ocean Observing Leadership (RU COOL), and Teledyne Webb Research Corporation (TWRC) in the North Atlantic from 2011-04-13 to 2011-05-02 (NCEI Accession 0298933)
Abstract: This dataset includes low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from glider silbo deployed by Rutgers University, Rutgers University; Center for Ocean Observing Leadership (RU COOL), and Teledyne Webb Research Corporation (TWRC) in the North Atlantic from 2011-04-13 to 2011-05-02 for the Challenger Glider Mission project.

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: The Silbo Challenger mission is a partnership between industry and academia which will exercise a number of new Slocum glider features and long term deployment strategies including shoreside piloting tools, glider firmware, battery design, thruster design, hull design and low cost deployment and recovery in support of open ocean deployments.
