Purpose:

These current velocity data were determined in support of ongoing shipboard sampling and instrument tows.

Data Parameters and Units:

u = Eastward sea water velocity (m/s), v = Northward sea water velocity (m/s); N (Latitude, decimal minutes); W (Longitude, decimal minutes), transducer temperature (deg C), time (days since 2016-01-01 00:00:00), percent good (%), flag, heading (deg), depth (m)
