This dataset includes over 20,000 depth profiles collected with underwater gliders in a total of 18 missions between 2008 and 2023. The glider missions were centered at the long-term sampling site of the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program, Station ALOHA (22°45′N, 158°W), within the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The gliders were equipped with sensors to measure temperature, salinity, pressure, dissolved oxygen concentration, chlorophyll a concentration from fluorescence (excitation/emission...
Show moreVertically resolved data were collected by underwater Seagliders, which are guided autonomous underwater vehicles developed at the University of Washington’s Applied Physics lab (Eriksen et al., 2001). The Seagliders were piloted either in a circular or 'bowtie' pattern for several months in each mission around Station ALOHA.
Gliders were equipped with the sensors to measure temperature and salinity (Seabird CT Sail), pressure (Paine Electronics 211-75-710-05 and Kistler 4260M00), dissolved oxygen (Aandera models 5013 and 4330), chlorophyll fluorescence and optical backscatter at three wavelengths: 470 nm, 700 nm, and either 650 or 660 nm (WET Labs ECO Triplet ).
