Purpose:

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

Data Parameters and Units:

u = Eastward sea water velocity (m/s), v = Northward sea water velocity (m/s), uship (m/s), N (Latitude, decimal minutes), W (Longitude, decimal minutes), Transducer temperature (deg C), Time (days since 2016-01-01 00:00:00), Depth (m), Heading (deg), Percent good (%), Flag
