Purpose:

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

Data Parameters and Units:

Time (days since 2015-01-01 00:00:00); depth (m); u = Eastward sea water velocity (m/s); v = Northward sea water velocity (m/s); Ensemble #; N (Latitude, decimal minutes); W (Longitude, decimal minutes); Heading (deg); Amplitude; percent good pings (%); Temperature (deg C)
