Abstract:

Hull mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler measuring current velocity as a part of operations conducted in lease blocks [GC600 and OC26] on cruise PE15-20, on board the R/V Pelican, March 25 - 30, 2015.

Purpose:

These current velocity data were determined in support of benthic lander experiments and sensors deployed at the Megaplume site at GC600 as well as a second benthic lander with similar experiments at OC26.

Data Parameters and Units:

u = Eastward sea water velocity (m/s), v = Northward sea water velocity (m/s); Ensemble #; Date (yyyymmdd); Time (hmmss.ss); N (Latitude, decimal minutes); W (Longitude, decimal minutes)
