Abstract:

A hull mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler measured current velocity as a part of operations conducted in the northern Gulf of Mexico, in BOEM lease blocks GC600 and MC118. Data were collected on cruise PE14-14 on board the R/V Pelican, March 06-10, 2013.

Purpose:

These current velocity data were collected in support of ongoing deep sea lander deployments in BOEM lease blocks GC600 and MC118.

Data Parameters and Units:

u = Eastward sea water velocity (m/s); v = Northward sea water velocity (m/s); Ensemble #; Date (yyyymmdd); Time (hmmss.ss); N (Latitude, decimal minutes); W (Longitude, decimal minutes)
