Description

ADCP entity for diel surveys

Entity Information

Entity Type
Data Table

Data Attribute / Type Description
DSUITEID
NUMERIC 		Unique identifier for each Diel Suite deployed.
EXPOCODE
TEXT 		Defined as the Ship ICES code + departure date formatted as YYYYMMDD.
CRUISE_ID
TEXT 		A single designation that applies to all the rounds associated with a given mission/cruise.
MISSION_CODE
TEXT 		More descriptive name of cruise/mission.
ASSOC_REA_SITE
TEXT 		An identifier for the ecological site at the island or atoll (LOCATION) associated with the diel survey. Combines a 3-letter island code (derived from LOCATIONCODE) with a 2-4 digit site number.
OCC_SITEID
TEXT 		A 3-dimensional identifier for the fixed site location (LATITUDE and LONGITUDE) and depth. Includes "OCC" prefix, a 3-letter location code (derived from LOCATION), and a 3-digit site number.
REGION
TEXT 		The name of the region where the diel survey was conducted in the Pacific Islands region: American Samoa, Pacific Remote Island Areas, Mariana Archipelago, main Hawaiian Islands, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
REGIONCODE
TEXT 		Code for the region surveyed in the Pacific Islands region: American Samoa (SAMOA), Pacific Remote Island Areas (PRIA), Mariana Archipelago (MARIAN), main Hawaiian Islands (MHI), Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI).
LOCATION
TEXT 		Name of island or atoll where the sample was collected in the Pacific Islands region (REGION).
LOCATIONCODE
TEXT 		3-Letter unique code for LOCATION.
LATITUDE
NUMERIC 		Latitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the given site.
LONGITUDE
NUMERIC 		Longitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the given site.
SITE_DEPTH_M
NUMERIC 		Depth of sensor deployment site in meters.
YEAR
NUMERIC 		Year of the mission.
UTCDATETIME
DATE 		UTC date and time of observation (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss).
ADCP_SAMPLEINTERVAL_SEC
NUMERIC 		Sample interval for ADCP data in seconds.
DIRECTION_DEG
NUMERIC 		Current direction, measured in degrees (0-360). Data are trimmed to a maximum height bin for each time interval using pressure data to remove above-water signal. As a result, NULL values may exist for larger height bins above the surface of the water due to waves and tides.
HEIGHTBIN_M
NUMERIC 		Height bin above the ADCP in meters. Each height bin is represented as the upper limit of the bin height above the sensor on the seafloor (for example, a 1.4 m bin represents current data collected between 0.4 m and 1.4 m above the ADCP). ADCP data include a blanking region, or a small distance in front of the transducer in which measurements cannot be made, of 0.2-0.4 m, and typically grouped into 1-m height bins, though smaller bin sizes (0.25 m or 0.5 m) are used for shallower deployments.
PRESSURE_DB
NUMERIC 		Measured pressure value in decibars.
SPEED_MS
NUMERIC 		Current magnitude (speed), measured in meters per second. Calculated as the square root of the sum of the squared u and v velocities. Data are trimmed to a maximum height bin for each time interval using pressure data to remove above-water signal. As a result, NULL values may exist for larger height bins above the surface of the water due to waves and tides.
