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.
