SummaryThis glider deployment is part of 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 in order to validate regional
and global numerical ocean models and to investigate the Cold Pool's role in modulating hurricane intensity. The glider was
deployed south of the Rhode Island Sound. The glider is equipped with a CTD, a WETLabs Scientific 3-channel puck to measure
chlorophyll a, backscatter (700nm), and CDOM and an Aanderaa 3830 oxygen optode. The glider 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. This deployment is scheduled for a 90-day mission plan
