Purpose:

These current velocity data were determined in support of ongoing mooring and lander experiments at OC26 and GC185.

Data Parameters and Units:

u (m/s), v (m/s); Ensemble #; Date [yyyymmdd]; Time [hmmss.ss]; latitude [decimal degrees]; longitude [decimal degrees]; bin depth [m]; %good pings [%]; signal amplitude; ship's zonal velocity [m/s]; ship's meridional velocity (m/s)
