Chief Scientists: Sarah Provoznik and Ryan Smith

NF1803 - OS150 SADCP - CODAS3 BROADBAND SADCP DATA

Processed by Ryan Smith (ryan.smith@noaa.gov)

THIS FILE CONTAINS PROCESSED HULL-MOUNTED (SADCP) SURFACE*

VELOCITY DATA, TIME-AVERAGED TO FIVE-MINUTE INTERVALS.

ORIGINAL BIN SIZE = 2 meters (broadband data)

THESE DATA WERE COLLECTED USING A TELEDYNE RD INSTRUMENTS

150KHZ OCEAN SURVEYOR ADCP. THESE DATA HAVE BEEN PROCESSED

TO CODAS3 (U. OF HAWAII) STANDARDS.

DUE TO THE SADCP TRANSDUCER DEPTH AND ORIGINAL DEPLOYMENT SETTINGS, THE VELOCITY DATA RECORDED IN THIS FILE REPRESENT THE WATER VELOCITY BETWEEN 10-12 METERS WATER DEPTH. THESE ARE THE HALLOWEST DATA AVAILABLE, AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED "SURFACE" DATA.

% THE DATA BELOW REPRESENT THE SHALLOWEST AVAILABLE.
