Glider - La Push Line: 2023 May

The La Push glider line aims to extend the time series of sustained glider-based measurements off the Washington Coast that begun in 2003. Seaglider and SGX underwater gliders repeatedly occupy a single section that extends offshore from the continental slope to 47N, 127W. Gliders profile from the sea surface to 1000-m depth and back every 6 hours while traversing the line at a speed of roughly 20 km/day. The La Push line is sampled by a single glider, which is replaced as needed to maintain continuous occupation of the section.
