Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Deployment-specific acquisition description

NAB08 Seaglider 142 was equipped with Garmin 15H-W receiver. NAB08 Seaglider 142 surfaced on irregular intervals, after each completed dive. During the surfacing interval, several GPS fixes were obtained and recorded. Here, we are reporting only the GPS fix taken immediately before dive.

Instruments

Seaglider

Supplied Description:

Seaglider is an autonomous underwater vehicle delevoped through a collaboration between The Applied Physics Laboraty -Univesity of Washington and the University of Washington School of Oceanography. These small, free-swimming vehicles can gather conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) data from the ocean for months at a time and transmit it to shore in near-real time via satellite data telemetry.

Seagliders make oceanographic measurements traditionally collected by research vessels or moored instruments. They can survey along a transect, profile at a fixed location, and can be commanded to alter their sampling strategies throughout a mission.
