Description
April 16-21, 2010 data from a Slocum glider deployment in Washington/Oregon coastal waters. The dataset contains measurements of physical oceanographic properties including temperature, salinity, conductivity, and density. It was gathered by the Oregon Health & Science University's Center for Coastal Margin Observation & Prediction as part of the SATURN observatory and archived by NOAA NCEI.
Use Cases
Characterize shelf hypoxia by analyzing vertical profiles of temperature and salinity.
Calibrate ocean circulation models using time-series data of conductivity and density.
Study seasonal water column dynamics from the glider's physical trajectory and sensor readings.
Strengths
Data spans a focused 6-day deployment period in April 2010.
Includes core physical oceanographic variables (temperature, salinity, conductivity, density).
Data was checked for compliance with netCDF conventions and aggregated by the IOOS National Glider Data Assembly Center.
Limitations
Sample size and row count are unknown.
Temporal coverage is limited to a single, short deployment in one season.
Geographic scope is restricted to a specific region of the Washington/Oregon coast.
