attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	Spray gliders surveyed from the northern edge of the Mascarene Plateau, crossing the equator repeatedly, then surveyed southward back toward the Seychelles prior to recovery. One glider mission was conducted in each of 2017 and 2018. Missions were timed to capture the onset of the southwest (northern hemisphere summer) monsoon at the equator. Additional plots of these data are available at http://gliders.whoi.edu.
