Expand/Collapse All

Description

These data from the Sea-Bird Glider Payload CTD (GPCTD) include latitude, longitude, temperature, pressure, conductivity, and salinity collected by the AUV Honey Badger (Wave Glider model V2) from October to November of 2015 in the North Pacific Ocean.

For more information on project MAGI and a description of Honey Badger, see: http://oceanview.pfeg.noaa.gov/MAGI/

Additional support was provided by the PacX Challenge from Liquid Robotics, Inc.

Methods & Sampling

The AUV Honey Badger is a Wave Glider(R) (model SV2) from Liquid Robotics. It was deployed from the Island of Hawaii in May of 2015 as part of Mesoscale Features Aggregate Interactions (MAGI) project.

Data Processing Description

These data are raw telemetry data obtained through the Wave Glider management system at Liquid Robotics, International.

BCO-DMO Data Manager Processing Notes:
* added a conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
* modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
* blank values replaced with no data value 'nd'
* latitude and longitude were rounded to 5 decimal places from 12.
* values of "NaN" and "nan" changed to "nd"
