Fisheries Oceanography in Coastal Alabama (FOCAL) Velocity data from mooring, May-September 2010

The oceanographic community routinely collects time-series data of hydrographic properties and water current velocity of the marine environment. Such data are essential for establishing baseline characteristics of marine and estuarine ecosystems. This data from small coastal ocean observing system 25 kilometers southwest of the mouth of Mobile Bay, Alabama, that the Dauphin Island Sea Lab has been operating. The data were collected between May 2010 and September 2010. The instruments were swapped out 4 times during this period of time and so the resulting velocity from an upward looking ADCP data has 4 files.
