Abstract:

Near-surface (u,v) velocities measured by shipboard ADCP onboard the RV Walton Smith during the GLAD experiment. Velocities are measured in thirty depth bins spanning a depth range of 3.1 meters to 32.1 meters in 1-meter intervals. Velocities in each bin were averaged in time at one-minute intervals.

Purpose:

Near-surface velocities were measured during the GLAD experiment to assess the circulation and identify submesoscale features in the vicinity of drifter launches.

Data Parameters and Units:

date (YYYY-MM-DD) time (HH:MM) integer bin number depth (meters below surface) east-west (u) velocity (m/sec) north-south (v) velocity (m/sec)
