    • PacIOOS Ocean Gliders: SeaGlider 114: Mission 3

    Metadata Updated: October 6, 2023

    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 3 of SeaGlider 114.

    Lineage 2008-07-02T00:00:00Z Glider arrived back from UW. 2008-09-24T00:00:00Z Deployed S. of Diamond Head. 2008-12-11T00:00:00Z Recovered: nearing end of battery life, deployed: 78 days. 2009-02-13T00:00:00Z Shipped glider to UW for recalibration and battery replacement. 2022-11-17T23:30:00Z Dataset identifier modified from "sg114_3" to "sg_114_003" 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.
