Measurements made near Tampa along the Florida Gulf Coast to calibrate and validate glider instrumentation between 2009 and 2011.

Physical and profile oceanographic data were collected aboard the WEATHERBIRD II in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-05-22 to 2010-05-27 in response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill event on April 20, 2010, by the Subsurface Monitoring Unit (SMU), which consisted of multiple government and corporate agencies. These data include unknown data types. The instruments used to collect these data included CTD along with other physical sampling devices. More specific information about each dataset is located in their individual metadata records. The CTD data underwent preliminary quality assurance and control procedures at the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC). Cruise level information consisting of data management documents, cruise reports and plans, videos and pictures, and other miscellaneous documentation were gathered by the data managers.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and other measurements taken from Deepsea gliders SG041 and SG045 in the North Atlantic during 3 deployments in the framework of the Bermuda Geostrophic Turbulence project. Data are in NetCDF.

This dataset is a hydrographic survey collected by sensors mounted on gliders in the Weddell Sea sector of the Antarctic Marginal Ice Zone, as part of the Robotic Observations and Modeling of the Marginal Ice Zone (ROAMMIZ) project. The gliders, SG643 (Caltech) and SG640 (Gothenburg University), were deployed from the research vessel SA AGULHAS II in the austral summer of 2018 and spring of 2019, respectively. Each of the profiles provide temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence, optical backscatter (at 470 and 700 nm) and Depth Averaged Currents. The deployment in 2018 also includes PAR. Data were measured to a depth of 1000 m except for fluorescence and backscatter which recorded to a depth of 400 m. Horizontal resolution ranges from 300 m to 5000 m as a result of the V-shaped sampling pattern characteristic of gliders. The concatenated files provide processed and calibrated temperature, salinity, chlorophyll and backscatter data using near-by CTD casts on deployment and recovery of the gliders. The individual profiles have been processed on the Kongsberg basestation and the thermal lag correction of Charlie Erickson (unpublished) applied, but the data is otherwise not post-calibrated. The raw data of SG643 is also provided in case the user would like to re-process the data. Otherwise, the data are in NetCDF. Data were collected with support from ROAMMIZ Project; Terrestrial Hazard Observations and Reporting (THOR) Center and Linde Center at Caltech ; Packard Foundation.

The water depth and temperature data were collected in he water depth and temperature data were collected in Gulf of Mexico as part of Louisiana-Texas (LATEX part C) Gulf of Mexico Eddy Circulation Study from aircraft between May 18, 1994 and August 14, 1994. The originator's bathythermograph aerial (AXBT) data containing 108 drops were submitted by Dr. Thomas Berger, Science Applications, Inc. Raleigh NC in F022 file format of NODC. The study was supported by grant no MMS 14-35-0001-30633. LATEX is a three-part, $16.2 million federal initiative funded by the U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) of the Department of the Interior. The study was conducted to aid MMS in reducing risks associated with oil and gas operations on the continental shelf along the Texas and Louisiana coasts from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Rio Grande. Begun in September 1991, it was the largest physical oceanography program ever undertaken in the Gulf. The program consists of three major parts: LATEX A, B, and C, conducted by the Texas A&M University System (TAMUS), Louisiana State University (LSU), and Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC), respectively. LATEX C was carried out by researchers at SAIC and the University of Colorado. Loop Current eddies, slope eddies, and squirts and jets within the Gulf of Mexico were located and tracked by air-deployed temperature profiling instruments and drifting buoys. Using these data, scientists assessed the impact of these Gulf-wide, circulation features on shelf circulation and identified the processes that interact with the shelf.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Bathythermograph (XBT Aircraft) (C118) format. The C116/C118 format contains temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Cruise information, position, date and time were reported for each observation. The data record was comprised of pairs of temperature-depth values. Unlike the MBT Data File, in which temperature values were recorded at uniform 5 m intervals, the XBT data files contained temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths were recorded at the minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to accurately define the temperature curve. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles to depths of either 450 or 760 m. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m. Prior to July 1994, XBT data were routinely processed to one of these standard types. XBT data are now processed and loaded directly in to the NODC Ocean Profile Data Base (OPDB). Historic data from these two data types were loaded into the OPDB.

Underwater glider data gathered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) received the data in this dataset from the Integrated Ocean Observing System's National Glider Data Assembly Center (IOOS NGDAC). The IOOS NGDAC received the data in one or more netCDF files comprising an entire glider deployment. The data are measurements of physical oceanographic properties such as temperature, salinity, conductivity, and density. The IOOS NGDAC checked the files for compliance to their netCDF file convention, aggregated the files into a single netCDF file, and then submitted the file to NCEI for long-term preservation. Data files may be either low resolution real-time or full resolution. Full resolution files are designated as "delayed" in the netCDF file name.
