| Summary | This glider deployment will be part of our continuing Investigation of Mid-Atlantic Cold Pool Dynamics: The Ocean Glider Component. The program goal is to measure the seasonal-varying 1km-100km features of the Mid-Atlantic Cold Pool. To do this, we will deploy glider BLUE for its Mission-10 from UMassD RV Lucky Lady at a site west of Gay Head Martha's Vineyard, MA (41 14.89 N,70 57.21 W). BLUE will be equipped with a CTD, optical measurements of chlorophyll, backscatter, and CDOM. Glider BLUE will saw-tooth its way southward toward the western corner of the OOI Pioneer Array glider domain and then southwestward for about 100km and then northeastward to its deployment location. We estimate that Blue will do this triangular trajectory 3 or 4 times in the 90-day mission plan |
