Summary

Abstract

PROCESSED LOWERED ADCP CURRENT VELOCITY DATA

These LADCP data were collected by NOAA/AOML/PhOD during cruise NF0705 of the Coral Reef Ecosystem Research (CRER) project conducted in MARCH/APRIL 2007 aboard the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster.

Data contained in this file were originally acquired using a single lowered, downlooking 300kHz, RDI ADCP.

These data should be considered preliminary data. For further information, contact: ryan.smith@noaa.gov

These 14 LADCP Data files have an extension of .vel and are provided in one zip file
