Physical trajectory profile data from glider sp065 deployed by Woods Hole Oceanographic In

Spray glider sp065 collected profile data for physical oceanographic properties from 2019-11-20 to 2020-01-11. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution deployed the glider in the East Coast region of the US and Canada. Data was archived by the National Centers for Environmental Information after processing by the Integrated Ocean Observing System's National Glider Data Assembly Center.

Use Cases

• Analyze vertical water column structure based on temperature and salinity profiles.
• Study coastal ocean dynamics and variability based on trajectory and time-series data.
• Validate regional ocean circulation models based on in-situ conductivity and density measurements.
• Monitor seasonal changes in oceanographic conditions based on data collected over a multi-month deployment.

Strengths

• Data collection spans a specific 53-day period from 2019-11-20 to 2020-01-11.
• Data underwent quality checks and standardization by the IOOS National Glider Data Assembly Center before archival.
• Focuses on core physical oceanographic properties including temperature, salinity, conductivity, and density.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2020-01-11 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
