©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.These data are based on deployment of the Scripps Zooglider in collaboration with the French-led BIOSWOT-Med study in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea in Spring 2023. This study was one of the Adopt-a-Crossover field studies carried out around the world in synchrony with the launch by NASA/CNES of the new SWOT satellite for enhanced ocean altimetry. We deployed Zooglider on 30 March 2023 from Palma, Majora using a small craft, then navigated it remotely to the BIOSWOT-Med study region. Initial...

This dataset is part of a larger collaborative study called BIOSWOT-Med in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea. The Scripps Zooglider was deployed in collaboration with a French-led team aboard the R/V L'Atalante from March to May 2023.
Data from the Zooglider mission include: CTD, Zonar, Particle counts from Zoocam images and Zooglider dive record data (see related datasets).
The temperature, salinity, density, and pressure recorded by *Zooglider* during ascent.
The concentrations of 25 groups of planktonic organisms identified from Zoocam images, together with unidentified small particles between 0.25-0.45 mm Equivalent Circular Diameter (ECD), the total number of non-identified particles > 0.45 mm ECD,...
