Ocean currents measured by Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (SADCP) during the R/V Point Sur cruise PS18_28 in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2018-06-21 to 2018-06-28

This dataset contains ocean currents data from Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (SADCP) collected during the R/V Point Sur cruise PS18_28 in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2018-06-21 to 2018-06-28. The experimental site is on the continental slope of the northern Gulf of Mexico, next to the Deepwater Horizon Spill site. The raw ADCP data were collected and processed using the University of Hawaii data acquisition system (UHDAS) during the cruise. The post-cruise data processing were conducted by the University of Hawaii using the CODAS (Common Ocean Data Access System) processing. This dataset contains both raw and processed data. There were two vessel-mounted ADCPs on Point Sur operating at 75 kHz and 300 kHz respectively. Both were manufactured by RD Instruments.

本数据集涵盖2018年6月21日至2018年6月28日期间，在墨西哥湾北部开展的R/V Point Sur航次PS18_28中，由船载声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers，SADCP）获取的海流数据。该实验站位设于墨西哥湾北部大陆坡，毗邻深水地平线漏油事故现场。航次期间，原始ADCP数据通过夏威夷大学数据采集系统（University of Hawaii data acquisition system，UHDAS）完成采集与处理。航次后的数据处理工作由夏威夷大学基于CODAS（通用海洋数据访问系统，Common Ocean Data Access System）完成。本数据集同时包含原始数据与经处理后的成品数据。R/V Point Sur号搭载了两台船载ADCP，工作频率分别为75 kHz与300 kHz，两款设备均由RD Instruments公司制造。
