Abstract:

A hull mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measured current velocity as part of operations conducted in the Gulf of Mexico (lease blocks MC118 and OC26). Data were collected from R/V Endeavor on cruise EN505 which departed from Gulfport Mississippi April 12, 2012 and returned April 24, 2012.

Purpose:

These current velocity data were determined in support of ongoing mooring and deep sea lander experiments at (MC118, OC26).

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)
