The Challenger Glider Mission is inspired by the first global scientific ocean survey conducted by the HMS Challenger from 1872-1876. The goals of the mission are to establish a collaborative international network of autonomous underwater glider ports, to assess global ocean model predictive skill while contributing real-time profile data for assimilation in ocean forecast models by operational centers worldwide, and to crowd source student-based ocean research and discovery.

Slocum glider dataset gathered as part of the TEMPESTS (The Experiment to Measure and Predict East coast STorm Strength), funded by NOAA through CINAR (Cooperative Institute for the North Atlantic Region). This project supports the deployment and real-time 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.

This project integrated a deep rated version of the Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET)-based pH sensor, the Deep ISFET pH, into a Slocum Webb G2 glider. The pH sensor unit is complemented with existing glider sensors including a CTD, a WETLabs BB2FL ECO puck configured for simultaneous chlorophyll fluorescence and optical backscatter measurements, and an Aanderaa Optode for measuring dissolved oxygen. This cross shelf New Jersey glider deployment is occurring on the Rutgers E-line.
