Several sea trials with the newly developed CO2 Seaglider in the Gulf of Alaska and data evaluation with discrete water and underway samples suggest near ‘weather quality’ CO2 data as defined by the Global Ocean Acidification Network. This data set describes one such data set from the CO2 Seaglider, in February of 2023. Please see publication by the same authors at https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2024-1055. Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.

This dataset consists of a glider deployment in greater Te Moana-o-Raukawa (Cook Strait) as part of the DeepSouth National Science Challenge in Aotearoa New Zealand. This submission continues from previous deployments uploaded to SEANOE (doi:10.17882/76530). Survey uses a Teledyne Webb Research Slocum G2 glider equipped with a pumped SeaBird CTD to measure conductivity, temperature, and pressure, along with instruments to measure dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-a fluorescence, backscatter at 470, 532, 660, and 700nm, chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Part-way through the deployment, in order to save battery, the science package was turned on only during downcasts and these subsequently appear as empty casts in the dataset. Science data were processed using the GEOMAR Glider Toolbox (https://git.geomar.de/open-source/geomar_glider_toolbox). Comparison with the previously-utilized SOCIB (Troupin et al. (2015), doi: 10.1016/j.mio.2016.01.001) toolbox shows negligible differences in outputs. Data have been averaged into vertical bins of 1dBar (~1m). Despite processing to minimize lag-error in salinity (following Garau et al., 2011, doi: 10.1175/JTECH-D-10-0503.1), some casts (n=10, out of 4246 total) were made empty after visual inspection in T-S space. Oxygen data were lag-corrected, whereas other variables are presented as-is without further processing. Depth-integrated water velocity derived from GPS and dead-reckoning are included.
