CARICOOS Buoy VI1 (St. John, USVI): Currents Data, ACDP
CARICOOS real-time buoy observations near Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands at VI1 - CarICOOS Data Buoy C, located at 18d 14.952m N, 64d 45.792m W, South of St John. Buoy VI114 was deployed from 2024-09-09 15:46:00 through 0000-00-00 00:00:00 UTC. Ocean current speed and direction measurements were made hourly throughout the water column from near-surface to near the ocean floor using a Nortek Aquadopp acoustic doppler current profiler onboard the buoy.
