Purpose:

These current velocity data were determined in support of AUV (Eagle Ray and Molal Mola) and SSD/iSpider operations at GC600 and GC647.

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)

Instruments:

RD Instruments ADCP package using 75 kHz transducer.
