Abstract

Two Webb Slocum gliders were used to measure salinity, temperature, and depth. Glider 'Pelagia' was deployed in Long Bay, S. Carolina, South Atlantic Bight and glider 'Ramses' was deployed along the upper slope of S. Carolina. in 2012. Data were collected in a time series from January to April, 2012. NOTE: This is a very large dataset (1.53 million records). It takes a while to serve and may not display entirely depending on your browser. You can download all the data from the Data Files se...

Time series of dissolved oxygen were measured from an undulating Webb Slocum Electric glider (serial #44, named Pelagia and serial #32, named Ramses) every few seconds by an Aandera Oxygen Optode.  The glider Pelagia nominally occupied a cross-shelf transect but deviated from its prescribed course due to currents and other issues.  The glider Ramses occupied a profiling station on the upper slope.
