Abstract:

R/V Endeavor: EN559 Hull mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measuring current velocity as a part of operations conducted in conjunction with and support of ECOGIG water column research in lease blocks GC600 and GC767. Data were collected in the Gulf of Mexico by R/V Endeavor, July 23, 2016 to August 15, 2016.

Purpose:

These underway sensor data were collected in the area of ongoing ECOGIG water column research in lease blocks GC185, GB480, GC574, GC600, GC699, GC767, OC26 and MC118 in the Northern Gulf of Mexico in lease.

Data Parameters and Units:

Ensemble #; vship = Ship meridional(northward) velocity component [m/s]; v = Meridional(northward) velocity component [m/s]; uship = Ship zonal(eastward) velocity component [m/s]; u = Zonal(eastward) velocity component [m/s]; tr_temp = ADCP transducer temperature [deg C]; time = Decimal day [days since 2016-01-01 00:00:00]; W = longitude (decimal minutes); N = latitude (decimal minutes); heading = Ship heading [degrees]; depth [m]; time (Julian-day leap year) time: start: 204.76806712963 = 2016-07-22 18:26:01 end : 227.420034722222 = 2014-08-14 10:04:51
