This collection of datasets comprises of hydrological data generated during Slocum Gliders campaigns, funded by the UK Met Office Gliders (MOGli) project in the North Sea, near the JONSIS line East of Orkney. The British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) manages MOGli glider data since 2022 in order to provide approximately continuous data coverage for meteorological models. Gliders collect pressure, temperature, conductivity and salinity through a CTD sensor. Each platform’s logger records water velocities, depth and engineering variables. Data were collected in near-real-time, where BODC curate the data and deliver the OG1.0 Community (NetCDF and .json) and raw binary format via ERDDAP. Near-real time, recovery (i.e. the data from the SD card when the glider is recovered) and quality controlled delayed mode versions of the data are available. The organisations contributing to the dataset are the UK Met Office and the National Oceanography Centre (NOC). The data are archived at the BODC.
