Title of datasetMemorial University Ocean Glider Deployments : 2005 – Present
Narrative summary of datasetMemorial University has over the past 15 years been involved in various ocean glider activities with deployments focused primarily on the Newfoundland Shelf and the Labrador Sea. For example, there are four deployments with glider data in the Labrador Sea. Partnerships with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Ocean Gliders Canada have also resulted in deployments of Memorial's gliders in the Pacific. The data contain 14’663 mission kms, 620 deployment days and 25’108 individual glider profiles. L1 NETCDF files for every deployment archived on the Memorial University’s Glider Data server are made available publicly for scientific research. Deployments vary in duration and region. All files were processed with the SOCIB glider toolbox ((Troupin et al., 2015)-[https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mio.2016.01.001]), modified by Nicolai von Oppeln-Bronikowski, 2019 for MUN glider deployments. Metadata: File creator(s), contact info, institution, applicable funding, responsible researcher(s), deployment region, deployment start, deployment end, longitude min, longitude max, latitude min, latitude max, glider type, glider configuration if known, sensors, sensor serial numbers, science data QC. Glider Data: Minimum Data: Time, Depth, Position, Depth-Averaged Current, CTD. Most Deployments: Oxy_umolL, Oxy_Calphase_DEG, Oxy_sat Some Deployments: pCO2_uatm,  pCO2_Calphase_DEG, pCO2_Dphase Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.
