| Title: |
Ocean currents measured by Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (SADCP) 1999-08 to 2009-05 from global oceans accumulated at the Joint Archive (JASADCP) 2009-01 to 2010-10 (NCEI Accession 0067774) |
| Abstract: |
Absolute U- and V-component ocean current vectors from Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (SADCP), as both a high frequency sampling (nominally 5 minutes with 8 m depth bins) and an averaged subset (hourly time and 10 m depth means), are provided for the global oceans. The depth range is typically from 20 to 300 m although recent technology has allowed penetration to over 1 km. The high frequency samples along with ancillary parameters are provided in the Common Oceanographic Data Access System (CODAS) binary format, from which long- and short-form NetCDF files are made. The long form holds an exact dump of the CODAS set. The short form gives currents in Earth coordinates and select ancillary parameters. The standard (averaged hourly/10m depth bins) subset is stored in ASCII and NetCDF. This dataset represents the cruises taken over the time span of 1999-08-20 to 2009-05-13 and accumulated 2009-01 to 2010-10 at the Joint Archive for SADCP, a collaboration of NOAA and the E.Firing ADCP Laboratory at the University of Hawaii. The data have been contributed by both US and international organizations. |
