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 comes from a 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 2010-05-05 and 2010-09-29. The instruments were swapped out four times during this period of time, and so the resulting velocity from an upward looking ADCP data has four files.
