Timeseries data from 'Foggy Island Bay' (com_micro_specialties_2_sn275)

This project supports the deployment and realtime data delivery of autonomous underwater gliders in the coastal ocean to better resolve and understand essential ocean features and processes that contribute to hurricane intensification or weakening prior to making landfall. Glider Comet is being deployed within the highly stratified Mid Atlantic Bight during the 2021 hurricane season with the goal of sampling ocean mixing during summer tropical cyclones or fall transition storms using an integrated Rockland Scientific, Inc Microstructure Profiler.

The mooring was built and deployed by University of California Davis (UCD), Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML) and Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries (GFNMS/CBNMS). The hypoxia monitoring buoy is equipped with oceanographic instruments which record dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity at Cordell Bank at depths up to 80 meters. Instruments collected time-series mooring data every 10 minutes.

The Pioneer Array is located on the continental shelf and slope south of Martha's Vineyard. The shelf-slope area is home to a highly productive ecosystem, and coincident with a persistent ocean frontal system where heat, salt, nutrients and other properties are exchanged between the shelf and the deep ocean. Data from gliders operating over the shelf contribute to understanding of the frontal system while those over the slope provide information about mesoscale features that may impinge on the front.

The Pioneer Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB) Array, located off the coast of North Carolina, consists of a mooring array supplemented by glider and AUV transects. The Pioneer MAB Array is designed to resolve transport processes and ecosystem dynamics in the vicinity of the shelfbreak front, which is a region of complex oceanographic dynamics, intermittent mesoscale variability, and enhanced biological productivity. The Array collects high-resolution, multidisciplinary, measurements spanning the continental shelf and slope on horizontal scales from a few kilometers to about one hundred kilometers.
