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 ru36 deployed by Rutgers University Center for Ocean Observing Leadership (RU COOL) and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in the Caribbean Sea from 2025-04-08 to 2025-04-28 (NCEI Accession 0305932)
Abstract: This dataset includes low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from glider ru36 deployed by Rutgers University Center for Ocean Observing Leadership (RU COOL) and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in the Caribbean Sea from 2025-04-08 to 2025-04-28 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 Challenger Glider Mission is a re-creation of the first global scientific ocean survey conducted by the HMS Challenger from 1872-1876. The goals of the mission are to establish a collaborative international network of autonomous underwater glider ports, to assess global ocean model predictive skill while contributing real-time profile data for assimilation in ocean forecast models by operational centers worldwide, and to crowd source student-based ocean research and discovery. This glider is providing dissolved oxygen and temperature profile observations, as well as monitoring the passive acoustic environment in the vicinity of Martinique. Real-time datasets will include CTD data that will be provided to the IOOS Glider DAC and GTS to support ocean and atmospheric weather forecasting.
