1. Provide a unique data set tomodelers

2.

Provide standardized dataseta over ecological scales and

information on fish/mammalmigrations

3. Provide a 3-D snapshot of the

MAB cold pool

4.

Provide an extensivedistributed network through the

peak period of fall storms,demonstrating "surge" capacity

5. Demonstration of a nationalglider network

6.

Proof of data flow throughIOOS to NDBC via DMAC

7. Engage undergraduates in

ocean observing efforts.

Goal 1: Unique dataset for modelers

Observed (left) and ROMS ESPRESSO model (right) temperature (top) and salinity(bottom) following glider BLUE. Inset shows the glider path. In deep waters acolumn of relatively warm water delineates the offshore limit of the Cold Pool.

Goal 2: Fish/Mammal Migrations

Vemco receiversdeployed on 9 of 16

gliders

Key Species: Right

Whales, tiger sharks,

Atlantic sturgeon, AtlanticSalmon

Data will be organized byOTN

Conclusion: The ocean moves!

Approach:

Use thermal niche model + temperature hindcasts~ estimate habitat distribution in NW Atlantic

Goal 2: Fish/Mammal Migrations Continued

Goal 4: Fall Mixing Storms

2013 will serve as a

baseline for a calm

season

CINAR funding for

2014 & 2015 focusedon severe Tropical &

Winter storms

CINAR Observations:

Rapid profiler drifters,

storm gliders and rapid-deployable buoys

CINAR Models: nested

ROMS & FVCOM

2013 Tropical Storms

Goal 5: Demo of National Glider Network

Persistence allows

climate studies, modelassimilation and for

event sampling

Gliderpalooza is an

example of surge

capacity on east coast

A test case for a future

international

collaboration?


12/29


Goal 6: Data Flow from IOOS to GTS

Data flow through as

defined in the upcoming

National Glider Network

Plan

Operators to shore stationto DAC to world

Successful transfer to

GTS!


13/29


Goal 7: Undergraduate Education

Using data from U.S. IOOS

gliders in NSF OOI EPE tools

for undergraduate education

in the fall of 2013

Most variation between the two models and RU29 exist within the first 300 meters of the watercolumn

MyOcean model has a fairly consistent 1C to 2C difference in temperature from RU29 RTOFS model was fairly consistent with the RU29 data at lower depths but had very large

discrepancies in magnitude at certain locations.

Conclusions

Leveraging numerous programs for the good of all

Building a research community

Enabling availability of new datasets to global models

Improving models through assimilation and validation

especially along bottom in shallow water

The ocean moves!
