Closing observational gaps in the California Current System: the Point Arena Underwater Glider Line

A new underwater glider line has been implemented beginning in Dec-2019, located off Point Arena, northern California. This new line is part of the Central and Northern California Ocean Observing System - CeNCOOS (https://www.cencoos.org), and is being coordinated by Dr. Mazzini and collaborators. This line will help monitor changes of the ocean physics and biochemistry, helping to advance our knowledge of the California Current System and improve ocean model forecast in the region.
