Abstract:

As a part of PacIOOS, ocean gliders provide very detailed information about the physical and chemical condition of the waters around the Hawaiian Islands. Additionally, these data get used in computer models to make predictions about currents. Ocean gliders are small, free-swimming, unmanned vehicles that can cruise the ocean for several months gathering information about the temperature, salinity, and other water properties between the surface and 1000 m depth. A pressure sensor on the glider is able to record the depth throughout the dive. Because gliders are unmanned, they communicate with scientists on land when they are at the surface using an antenna on the end of the glider. The SeaGlider autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) was designed at the University of Washington (UW) Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). These data are taken from Mission 2 of SeaGlider 139.

Purpose:

PacIOOS provides timely, reliable, and accurate ocean information to support a safe, clean, productive ocean and resilient coastal zone in the U.S. Pacific Islands region.

Credit:

The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) is funded through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as a Regional Association within the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). PacIOOS is coordinated by the University of Hawaii School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST).

2008-08-21T00:00:00Z Recovered by R/V Klaus Wyrtki: nearing end of battery life, deployed 42 days.
2008-10-22T00:00:00Z Shipped glider to UW for recalibration and battery replacement.
2022-11-17T23:30:00Z Dataset identifier modified from "sg139_2" to "sg_139_002" to better match PacIOOS naming conventions.
2023-02-07T18:35:00Z Renamed "depth" variable to "altitude" per the ERDDAP convention for negative ocean depths (positive=up). Added "dive_number" variable.
