Abstract

Time series of horizontal and vertical current profiles measured every 5 minutes (300sec) with an acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) mounted on the bottom frame looking upward. The depth resolution is 1 meter. The mooring is located at Long Bay, S. Carolina in the South Atlantic Bight and recorded from 30 meters depth, January to April 2012.

A Teledyne RDI 600 kHz Work Horse Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (RDI ADCP) was mounted looking upward on a bottom frame at nominal depth of 30m. Sampling was set for every 300 seconds (5min).  Depth resolution was set to 1 meter.  

LB2 ADCP did not have a pressure sensor and LB3 ADCP pressure sensor malfunctioned.  Pressure records from the collocated bottom-frame CTDs were used to form the surface mask in ADCP profile data.
