Description:

A Seaglider autonomous underwater vehicle augmented the Ocean Station Papa (OSP; 50 8N, 145 8W) surface mooring, measuring spatial structure on scales relevant to the monthly evolution of the moored time series. During each of three missions from June 2008 to January 2010, a Seaglider made biweekly 50 km 350 km surveys in a bowtie-shaped survey track. Horizontal temperature and salinity gradients measured by these surveys were an order of magnitude stronger than climatological values and sometimes of opposite sign. Geostrophically inferred circulation was corroborated by moored acousticDoppler current proﬁler measurements and AVISO satellite altimetry estimates of surface currents, conﬁrming that glider surveys accurately resolved monthly scale mesoscale spatial structure.
