5613 Data Set Published / External 7131 EOP In Situ Observational Data Project On Going 2007 2021-08-26 These data contain shipboard current magnitudes and directions collected in the Pacific, both pelagic and near shore environments. Data is collected using an RD Instruments Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), operating at 75 kHz frequency. The ADCP transducer is installed on a "blister" at the bottom of the ship's hull, pointing vertically down in the watercolumn. ADCP current data obtained during shipboard surveys are used to study the current characteristics of specific mesoscale environments, such as mesoscale eddies and seamounts, and the effects of these environments on the ecosystem.
