Surfzone Coastal Oil Pathways Experiment (SCOPE) experiment, ADCP data collected from RV Calliope, Destin Inlet, Florida, December 2013

This data was collected during the CARTHE Surfzone Coastal Oil Pathways Experiment (SCOPE) experiment at Destin Inlet in December 2013. The data was underway ADCP data collected from the bow of the University of Miami's RV Calliope. The ADCP, an RDI 1200 kHz Workhorse, was mounted ~0.3 m below the MWL in a down-looking mode. Sampling interval and bin size are deployment-dependent. GPS data from the boat-mounted GPS is also included. The ADCP data was collected with Bottom Tracking Mode On, but without direct link to GPS. The ADCP is equipped with a pitch, roll, and magnetic compass (magnetic declination was accounted for in the configuration). The ADCP data was acquired in real-time with WinRiver software, the machine that housed the acquisition was synced to an NTP server. The machine clock was used to program the software acquisition. The data set contains 4 zip folders: 1) SPECGPS.zip contains the available gps information [time, longitude, latitude], the SPECgps.txt file within this folder contains a continuous record of all of the available gps information for the Calliope from SCOPE, raw data as well as matlab routines necessary to exporting the gps raw data to matlab-readable format is also provided; 2-4) adcp_configX.zip contain matlab-readable data from the Calliope's shipboard ADCP, each individual *.dat file is named by the transect time stamp and information provided within the ASCII file, for example a *_velocity.dat file contains Earth referenced velocity information (see the *_readme.dat files).
