Outline • • • 3 IOOS Glider History/Background Resources Data distribution Future plans Audience Input

IOOS: Glider Program • Regional Associations provide our glider observations and most of our US presence • In 2013 Established a National Glider Data Assembly Center (NGDAC or Glider DAC) • In 2014 Released a Glider Network White Paper • In 2015 Established an IOOC Glider Task team to advance both initiatives 4

Summary of Glider Days for 2008 -2014 Glider-days of data collected annually by glider operators.
