This dataset contains near-surface measurements of oceanographic, meteorological and physical data collected in situ during a survey of the eastern Bering Sea shelf conducted by three autonomous surface vehicles (USVs, Saildrones (SD) 1043, 1046, and 1049). The saildrones were used to conduct an acoustic survey of walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) in the US economic exclusive zone in summer 2020. This survey is traditionally conducted with crewed research vessels, but was conducted with USVs asin response to the cancellation of the ship-based surveys due to safety concerns associated with COVID-19 pandemic. The USV survey was conducted on 14 transects spaced 74 km apart spanning the ~80 m to ~1000m depth contour, with SD 1046 sampling in the south, SD 1046 in the center, and SD 1049 in the north portion of the survey area. All available data are included, which encompass the survey and a portion of the transit to the survey area. The saildrones were equipped with a variety of sensors and instruments consisting of thermosalinograph, echo sounder, oxygen optode, fluorometer, SST IR pyrometer, anemometer, meteorological probe, digital and barometer. The oceanographic measurements include skin temperature, salinity, water temperature, water skin temperature, chlorophyll-a, and dissolved oxygen. The atmospheric measurements consist of wind speed and direction, air temperature, relative humidity and air pressure. All the data are in netCDF-CF (underway) format. These data are experimental and have not been quality controlled. These data are made available at the user’s own risk. Users will need to do quality control when using these data. The data from the echosounder will be separately archived at NCEI’s water column sonar data archive.

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.

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 contains water temperature, salinity, pressure, average wind speed and direction, maximum wind speed, air pressure, air temperature, chlorophyll-a concentration, oil concentration, water turbidity, water conductivity, oxygen solubility, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), thermal and multispectral images. The instruments used to collect these data include WaveGlider (Airmar 200WX sensor, Turner C3 with Chlorophyll, Oil and Turbidity sensors and Seabird Glider Payload CTD (GPCTD)), FlightWave Edge (NASA-AMES prototype DMS sensor), FlightWave Edge (FLIR Duo R Thermal Camera and Multispectral Camera Parrot Sequoia) and SINTEF's SILCAM. These data were collected by Joao Borges de Sousa of University of Porto, and by Schmidt Ocean Institute as part of Exploring Fronts with Multiple Robots. Data are in text (CNV, CSV) formats. Images are in JPG format.

This dataset contains data in NetCDF format from Seaglider 574. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) - SOCCO Southern Ocean Seasonal Cycle Experiment (SOSCEx) was planned around five cruises to the Subantarctic Zone (SAZ) between the austral winter of 2012 and the late summer of 2013. Two autonomous SeaGliders (SG573 and SG574) were deployed south of Gough Island in the South-East Atlantic Ocean at 42.4S, 9.9W and 43.0S, 11.0W, respectively. Their deployment occurred in the central SAZ region of the Southern Ocean. The gliders were deployed on 20 September 2012 and 25 September 2012, respectively and both were retrieved on 15 February 2013 resulting in continuous sampling for 148 and 143 days (or 5.5 months) per glider. Data from SG574 are archived in NCEI Accession 0131501. Refer to Swart et al., 2014, JMS for further details.

These data are reported from a Saildrone unmanned surface vehicle (USV), with limited initial quality control. Remote participants directed the Saildrone to pursue waypoints along a trajectory from Newport, Rhode Island to the Gulf Stream, with the objective of repeatedly sampling the cross-Gulf Stream gradients, along the length of the current. The Saildrone left Newport on 30 January 2019 and collected data until 26 February 2019. The mission ended prematurely after the USV sustained mission-compromising damage in 12+ meter significant wave heights. The USV was safely recovered in Bermuda. The data provided here are from the meteorological instruments mounted on the hull and wing (e.g., air temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed/direction) and the oceanographic instruments that sample below the sea surface (e.g., temperature, salinity, oxygen, pCO2, pH).

This is an .nc file of data collected by Seaglider 532 in the southern Drake Passage in autumn to winter of 2016. The temperature and salinity data were collected by unpumped CTD (Seabird), the dissolved oxygen data by an Aanderaa optode, and the optical backscatter data by an ECO puck (WetLABS). The collection dates were between May 10-August 20, 2016. The data are gridded at 5 meter resolution in depth.

Seaglider is a buoyancy driven autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) developed by scientists and engineers at the University of Washington's School of Oceanography and Applied Physics Laboratory. Seagliders are designed to glide from the ocean surface to a programmed depth and back while measuring temperature, salinity, depth-averaged current, and other quantities along a sawtooth trajectory through the water. Seaglider has entered wide use in scientific deployments. They are designed for missions in range of several thousand kilometers and durations of many months. Seagliders are commanded remotely and report their measurements in near real time via wireless telemetry.
