OceanGliders data end points
The OceanGliders data end points are centralized hubs that archive and distribute quality-control ocean glider data in near real time and delayed mode. It provides standardized, open access to glider observations, supporting research, operational oceanography, and environmental monitoring.
Glider Data Processing chain
The EGO Data Processing Chain
The EGO data processing chain decodes, processes, formats and performs quality control on glider data and metadata. The decoder performs the following actions for a glider deployment:
- Decode and format the glider deployment data and metadata into an EGO NetCDF time series file
- Apply Real Time Quality Control (RTQC) tests on EGO NetCDF time series file,
- For Slocum gliders, estimate subsurface currents and store them into the EGO file,
- Generate NetCDF profile files from EGO file data and apply specific RTQC tests to them.
The decoder manages Slocum, SeaGlider and SeaExplorer gliders observations.
The IOOS Data Processing Chain
The U.S. IOOS National Glider Data Assembly Center (NGDAC) provides a centralized framework for collecting, standardizing, archiving, and distributing ocean glider data. It supports glider operators by offering simple data submission procedures and ensures public access to high-quality, interoperable datasets through established web services. By preserving original data resolution and metadata, and enabling dissemination through global systems such as the GTS, the NGDAC plays a key role in long-term data stewardship and in supporting research, operations, and ocean forecasting systems.
