Purpose:

These current velocity data were determined in the area of deployed mooring and lander experiments.

Data Parameters and Units:

u = Eastward sea water velocity (m/s), v = Northward sea water velocity (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)

Instruments:
