The purpose of this glider mission is to take cross sections of temperature and salinity in the continental shelf near Palmer Station south to Rothera Station, mapping the presence of modified upper circumpolar water on the West Antarctic Peninsula shelf. The Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program in Antarctica is a long term study focused on understanding how the marine system regulates the ecology of the West Antarctic Peninsula. The project is focused on how the ecology is changing given the West Antarctic Peninsula is the fastest winter warming place on Earth. This dataset includes temperature and salinity profiles only.
