	abstract = {During summer, distinctive, bottom-trapped, cold water mass of remnant local and remote winter water called Cold Pool Water (CPW) resides as a swath over the mid to outer continental shelf throughout much of the Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB). This evolving CPW is important because it strongly influences the ecosystem, including several important fisheries. Thus, there is a priority to better understand the relevant ocean processes and develop CPW forecast capability. Over the past decade, repeated high-resolution Slocum glider measurements of ocean water properties along a New Jersey cross-shelf transect have helped to define the variability of the CPW structure off New Jersey. More recently the Mid-Atlantic Regional Association Coastal Ocean Observing System-supported ocean gliders have occupied a series of along-shelf zigzag trajectories from Massachusetts to New Jersey and New Jersey to Maryland. The comprehensive set of March through November 2007 glider measurements has been used to define the annual evolution of the 10~{\textdegree}C Cold Pool in terms of its distribution and water properties. The rather steady warming at the rate of 1~{\textdegree}C per month July through October 2007 is reflected in the 2007 CPW temperature (T) and salinity (S) properties. We describe how a three-glider fleet view of the September 2013 Cold Pool (a) confirmed the Lentz (2017) CPW cold patch and (b) the impingement of a Gulf Stream warm core ring warmed and salted the 2013 CPW. The Gulf Sream 2013 event forced our extension of the CPW T and S properties.},

	abstract = {Since 2009, we have deployed 167 satellite tags on loggerheads within the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Bight of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. These tags collect and transmit location, temperature and depth information and have yielded 18,790 temperature-depth profiles during the highly stratified season (01 June {\textendash}04 October) for the region. This includes 16,371 profiles exceeding the mixed-layer depth, and, of those, 11,591 full water column profiles reaching the ocean floor. The US MAB is a dynamic ecosystem that is difficult to model due to a combination of complex seasonal water masses and currents and a limited set of tools for taking in situ measurements. This region is also prime foraging habitat for loggerhead sea turtles during the late-spring to summer months. Here we suggest that the habitat usage of loggerhead turtles in the Mid-Atlantic Bight make them good ocean observers within this difficult to model, highly stratified region. The use of turtle-borne telemetry devices has the potential to improve resolution of in situ temperature through depth data and in turn improve oceanographic model outputs. It is imperative that model outputs are continuously updated, as they are regularly used to inform management and conservation decisions.},
