Raw data of SCADCP (self-contained Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) from mooring AWI232-7@en

The ADCP used was of the type RDI Workhorse Longranger (Teledyne RD Instruments USA, Poway, California), using a four-beam, convex configuration with a beam angle of 20° and a frequency of 76.8 kHz. The instrument was moored at mean depth of 379 m in upward-looking mode and measured horizontal and vertical currents and acoustic backscatter intensity. Heading, pitch and roll, pressure and temperature data were also collected. The number of depth cells was set to 38 with a bin size of 16 m. The sampling interval was set to 1 ping per ensemble with a ping rate of about 1 ping every 10 minutes. The mooring AWI232-7 was deployed in February 2005 during R. V. Polarstern cruise ANT-XXII/3 and recovered during R. V. Polarstern cruise ANT-XXIII/2 in December 2005. […]
