Physical trajectory profile data from glider ru05 deployed by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in the Southern Ocean from 2016-02-02 to 2016-02-17 (NCEI Accession 0145658)

The purpose of this glider mission is to take cross sections of temperature and salinity in the continental shelf near Palmer Station. The Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program in Antarctica is a long term study focused on understanding how the marine system regulates the ecology of the West Antarctic Peninsula. The project is focused on how the ecology is changing given the West Antarctic Peninsula is the fastest winter warming place on Earth. The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) received the data in this archival package from the Integrated Ocean Observing System's National Glider Data Assembly Center (IOOS NGDAC). The IOOS NGDAC received the data in one or more netCDF files comprising an entire glider deployment. The data are measurements of physical oceanographic properties such as temperature, salinity, conductivity, and density. The IOOS NGDAC checked the files for compliance to their netCDF file convention, aggregated the files into a single netCDF file, and then submitted the file to NCEI for long-term preservation.本海洋滑翔机任务的目标是在帕尔默站附近的大陆架海域获取温度与盐度的断面观测数据。南极长期生态研究（Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）计划是一项长期研究项目，旨在阐明海洋系统如何调控西南极半岛的生态系统。鉴于西南极半岛是全球冬季升温最快的区域，本项目聚焦于该区域生态系统的变化趋势。 美国国家环境信息中心（National Centers for Environmental Information, NCEI）从集成海洋观测系统国家滑翔机数据整合中心（Integrated Ocean Observing System's National Glider Data Assembly Center, IOOS NGDAC）获取了本归档数据包中的数据。IOOS NGDAC从包含单次完整滑翔机部署数据集的一个或多个netCDF（网络通用数据格式）文件中获取原始数据。本次数据为物理海洋学参数测量结果，涵盖温度、盐度、电导率与密度等指标。IOOS NGDAC已对这些文件进行netCDF文件规范符合性检查，将多个文件整合为单个netCDF文件，并提交至NCEI进行长期归档保存。
