Southwest Texas Current Survey 2017-2019: Aransas Pass to Brazos Santiago Pass

This report summarizes the data collection and analysis completed by NCOP in the 2017-2019 Southwest Texas (STX) Current Survey. A total of 22 stations were installed for at least 1 lunar month. Currents were measured at each station with an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) moored with a configuration determined by factors such as station depth, seafloor composition, expected maritime activities, anticipated currents, and available inventory. Concurrent with each deployment and recovery of an ADCP, a vertical conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profile was taken to ascertain the physical properties of the seawater at the approximate location of each station.
