This MARACOOS glider mission will survey the continental shelf and shelfbreak regions in the southern Mid-Atlantic Bight from Cape May, NJ down to Wachapreague, VA. The goal of the mission is to conduct mid-summer hydrographic survey of the MAB Cold Pool, quantify the water masses and the configuration of the shelfbreak front, and test the LISST sensor in a continental shelf setting. The glider is scheduled to be deployed on Thursday, August 2, 2018 and recovered on Monday August 20, 2018. The glider will be deployed near the 25 m isobath at off Avalon, NJ. It will then zig and zag down the shelf toward Wachepreague VA for recovery.
