Project: Seasonal Evolution of Chemical and Biological Variability in the Ross Sea (GOVARS)


Abstract

Data from GOVARS iRobot Seaglider AUV-SG-502 released into McMurdo Sound, Southern Ross Sea, 2010-2011. Temperature, salinity, oxygen, fluorescence, and optical backscatter data reported in 2-month deployment. Full resolution profiles (surface to 600 m, or near bottom of water column) of temperature, potential temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen from Seaglider equipped with CTD, oxygen, and optical sensors. The glider was released into the southern Ross Sea from the fast ice surrounding ...
