Dataset description

SOIREE Shipboard ADCP data
Calibrated and quality controlled shipboard ADCP data
continually recorded from a hull mounted ADCP.
Data on the currents within the top 200m of the water column.

There are 64 columns which are as follows:
1: date (YYMMDD)
2: time (HHMM)
3: longitude (decimal degrees)
4: latitude (decimal degrees)
5 - 34: u component (eastward) of ADCP currents in 30 depth bins.
Column 5 is the top bin; column 6 the second bin; etc.
35 - 64: v component (northward) of ADCP currents also in 30 depth bins
Column 35 is the top bin; column 36 the second bin; etc.

The depth bins are each 8m deep, with the top of the shallowest bin being at 27m depth.

Bad data values are marked with "nd"

Instrument: Furuno CI-30 2-axis doppler speed log

Data prepared by Edward Abraham and Philip Wiles (NIWA).

BCO-DMO Processing Notes
Generated from original file adcp.txt provided on the
Deep-Sea Research II 48 (2001) accompanying CD-Rom

BCO-DMO Edits
- Parameter names modified to conform to BCO-DMO convention
- date reformatted to YYYYMMDD
- time reformatted to HHMM
- Note: Some times with 59 seconds truncated when fmtted for BCO-DCO
- Lat/Lon values padded to 4 decimal places
- Columns 5 - 34: u component (eastward) of ADCP currents in 30 depth bins
- Column 5 is the top bin; column 6 the second bin; etc.
- 35 - 64: v component (northward) of ADCP currents also in 30 depth bins
