| Summary | The Challenger Glider Mission is a re-creation of the first global scientific ocean survey conducted by the HMS Challenger from 1872-1876. The goals of the mission are to establish a collaborative international network of autonomous underwater glider ports, to assess global ocean model predictive skill while contributing real-time profile data for assimilation in ocean forecast models by operational centers worldwide, and to crowd source student-based ocean research and discovery. This glider is providing temperature, conductivity, salinity, density and current profile observations. The current profiles are logged via external Nortek AD2CP files and are not available in this real-time dataset. RU29s planned mission extends from the US Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, St. Martin (Fr), Sint Maarten (NED), St. Barth\u00e9lemy (Fr), Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Guadeloupe, areas commonly impacted by tropical cyclones. Real-time datasets will include CTD data that will be provided to the IOOS Glider DAC and GTS to support ocean and atmospheric weather forecasting |
