The Predictions of AcousticS with Smart Experimental Networks of GlidERS (PASSENGERS) project is a partnership between universities and the Naval Research Laboratory to improve the capability of data-assimilative ocean models to predict acoustic propagation in dynamic oceanography environments. It includes the deployment of teams of gliders in small (10 km) spatial footprints with integrated passive acoustics focused on mapping the physical and acoustic environment in the dynamic region of the Atlantis II Seamounts.

Glider deployed as part of the CONsortium for oil spill exposure pathways in COastal River-Dominated Ecosystems (CONCORDE). The goal of the project is to use a combination of observations and numerical modeling to Characterize the complex 4D physical, geochemical, and bio-optical fields influenced by pulsed river discharge to understand potential 3-D pathways of ODS to the coast and mechanisms for enhanced interactions of ODS with plankton and suspended sediment.

Deployment of a Slocum glider to perform surveys of dissolved oxygen concentrations in the shallow coastal waters of New Jersey. This dataset currently provides only CTD measurements. Additional parameters, including oxygen and optical measurements, will be provided once the appropriate quality assessment algorithms have been applied.

Sea Water Ocean Topography (SWOT) is a radar interferometry mission making SSH measurements over a swath 120 km wide. There is a nadir gap of 20 km where the error from interferometry is not meeting science requirement. The mission's calval requirement is to validate the along-track SSH performance in terms of a wavenumber spectrum of the measurement error by comparison to in-situ measurement. The current candidate for the in-situ measurement is an array of gliders along the center of a swath to resolve the dynamic height at wavelengths of 15-150 km.

This project integrated an Acoustic Zooplankton and Fish Profiler (AZFP) multi-frequency echo sounder into a Slocum Webb G2 glider. The AZFP is complemented with existing glider sensors including a CTD, a WET Labs BB2FL ECO puck configured for simultaneous chlorophyll fluorescence (phytoplankton biomass) and optical backscatter measurements, and an Aanderaa Optode for measuring dissolved oxygen.
