NODC Standard Product: Naval Surface Weapons Center (NSWC) moored ADCP data 1994-1995 (Straits of Florida) (NCEI Accession 0095602)
This database contains Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected during 1994-1995 on the eastern shelf of Florida. The data were collected at ten-minute intervals by a bottom mounted 300-KHz ADCP unit (from RD Instruments, San Diego, CA) which was set offshore Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, at a depth of 140 meters. The instrument is positioned at approximately 26°04.0'N by 80°03.5'W. This unit is supported by the United States Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), which receives data directly from the ADCP by way of a submerged cable. Following negotiations in 1993, a cooperative effort was established between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the NSWC to forward the ADCP data collected by NSWC to the NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) in Miami, Florida. Since April 1994, AOML has been receiving the data from NSWC.
CD-ROM NODC-71 contains six subdirectories: BINARY, ASC, FLT, PLOTS, PGMS, and README. The BINARY subdirectory contains the original ADCP files as received from NSWC. The ASC subdirectory contains corresponding processed ADCP files in an ASCII format. The FLT subdirectory contains the ADCP data in a format processed to give north-south and east-west velocities at each bin depth. The PLOTS subdirectory contains the velocities found in the flat files projected as color Hovmöller plots in GIF format. The README subdirectory contains the documentation files, and the PGMS subdirectory contains sample FORTRAN programs that can be used to analyze the data.
CD-ROM NODC-59 contains the same data from 1994 as NODC-71 but no data from 1995. NODC-59 is superseded by NODC-71.
NOTE: Advanced programming skills are highly recommended for users of the data on this CD-ROM product.
