uvi_01-20260114T1932 Real Time Science Profiles

Summary:
This research investigates how water masses are transformed as they flow through the Caribbean Sea, a region responsible for a quarter of the northern hemisphere's northward ocean heat transport and a vital component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The UVI glider will transit to 18 N 69 W, south of the Dominican Republic, and sample temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and current velocity profiles from the surface to 900m depth southward along 69 W to just north of Curacao (12 24 N) – and return along the same path.  The journey is expected to take a little over 3 months and will be repeated during hurricane season 2026.

uvi_02-20231102T1447 Delayed Mode Raw Time Series

Summary:
This project is focused on collecting upper ocean data ahead-of and during tropical cyclones to better understand ocean mixing and feedbacks on hurricane intensity. Glider deployments are intended to occur during the NOAA GOMO Integrated Field Campaign Coordinated Hurricane Atmosphere Ocean Sampling alongside other ocean observing assets such as Saildrones, air-deployed floats, uncrewed aerial vehicles, among others. Delayed mode dataset.

uvi_02-20241105T1313 Real Time Raw Time Series

Summary:
A one-week mission to the Grammanik Bank area south of St. Thomas USVI to observe oceanic drivers of mesophotic coral reef environmental condition, collecting Temperature, Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, and optical (Chlorophyll, Turbidity, and CDOM) data. The ECO puck is externally mounted so no data flow through glider.
