Description

SO-GasEx Broad Band Shipboard ADCP
Data from the RHB hull mounted 75 kHz Ocean Surveyor Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)
operated in two modes, broad-band and narrow-band, throughout most of the cruise using the
University of Hawaii Data Acquisition System (UHDAS).

There are 164 columns which are as follows:
1: year (YYYY)
2: yrday (decimal days)
3: longitude (decimal degrees)
4: latitude (decimal degrees)

5 - 84: u component (eastward) of ADCP currents in 80 depth bins
These are identified by the bin number and the center depth of the bin in each parameter
i.e. u01_25 is the bin number (01) and the depth of the center of the bin in meters (25)

84 - 164: v component (northward) of ADCP currents also in 80 depth bins
These are identified by the bin number and the center depth of the bin in each parameter
i.e. v01_25 is the bin number (01) and the depth of the center of the bin in meters (25)

Ensembles are average velocities over 5 minutes
Eastward (u) and northward (v) velocities are in m/s

Bad data values are marked with "nd"

Instrument: hull mounted 75 kHz Ocean Surveyor Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)
