Low resolution real-time physical trajectory profile data from glider ng656 deployed by The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) and US Navy; Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) in the Gulf of Mexico from 2022-08-03 to 2022-08-05 (NCEI Accession 0278323)

Description

Deployment of a Littoral Battlespace Sensing (LBS) glider owned and operated by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO). This glider was deployed Southwest of the Mississippi Canyon in the Gulf of Mexico. The glider will traverse a series of 3 waypoints forming a triangle in the central Gulf of Mexico. LBS gliders collect temperature and salinity profiles in the water column. These gliders were provided and operated by the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) and are part of a larger effort to deploy and operate over 100 gliders simultaneously. Data collected by these Littoral Battlespace Sensing (LBS) gliders is assimilated for use in underwater ocean forecasts that support a wide range of naval operations. The glider will initially head south towards the Loop Current, aiming for the center of westward flowing Loop Current eddies and other large scale events for model validation. New waypoints may be sent to the glider to modify the planned track as needed." 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.
