Data

Data Description

Raw data from the gliders is available for most deployments. We further provide CF-compliant NetCDF files as either:

• Timeseries: high-resolution data aligned with the clock on the CTD sensor.
• Gridded: 1-m vertical grid, with one column per up or down profile.

The data is available at different levels of processing:

• Realtime: Subset of data transmitted via Iridium while the glider is in mission, with automated processing steps and QA/QC applied.
• Delayed: Full dataset collected by the glider and recovered post-mission, with all processing steps and QA/QC applied.
• Corrected: Some data has corrections applied to the CTD data and/or the oxygen data to correct for thermal lag and sensor drifts.

Data access:

By individual deployment:

See Deployments to view and download data and figures for individual glider missions.

Direct download using wget.

To download all the mission data, type the command

wget -N --directory-prefix=outdir \
   --input-file=https://cproof.uvic.ca/gliderdata/deployments/mission_all.txt

To download all the data by glider line or by platform, replace mission_all.txt with one of the following:

• Glider lines
  • LineP.txt
  • CalvertLine.txt
  • SouthernLine.txt

ERDAP server:

Our data is available on the IOOS ERDAP server, available by searching C-PROOF. (It is apparently somewhere on the Coriolis server as well, but not easy to find).
