Abstract:

Current meter moorings with internally-recording instruments were deployed on this cruise (G01) in July 2012. (The moorings were recovered and redeployed in July 2013). During this cruise a CTD/Rosette samplers, two shipboard acoustic Doppler currents profilers (75Khz and 300Khz), and an underway continuous sampling system were operated. This data set includes continuous measurements from the MIDAS system aboard the R/V Pelican and documentation.
