Vertical acoustic travel time data collected in the Gulf of Mexico, 2019-06-14 - 2021-05-19

This dataset contains hourly vertical acoustic travel time from an array of 24 current- and pressure-recording inverted echo sounders moored in the central Gulf of Mexico 2019-06-14 to 2021-05-19. These data were acquired to increase understanding of the Loop Current (LC) separation process and to inform LC forecasting efforts. These data are the highest quality versions after the least amount of processing. The data are in NetCDF format. Associated data are available in datasets U1.x852.000:0003 (doi: 10.7266/K4ZF1T9Z; currents) and U1.x852.000:0004 (doi: 10.7266/BZ9B3C54; pressure and temperature).
