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 high-resolution delayed-mode dataset contains measurements of temperature, salinity, density, chlorophyll a, CDOM, optical backscatter and oxygen concetrations.The glider was also equipped with an externally mounted Nortek Aquadopp Doppler Current Profiler. Please contact the publisher for access to either raw or processed current measurments. Funding support for these deployments was provided from NOAA Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) through the Cooperative Institute for the North Atlantic Region (CINAR, NA13OAR4830233), Disaster Recovery Act.
