The ASCA April 2015 Scientific Data System ten minute averaged data

The Agulhas System Climate Array (ACSA) is a mooring array and is designed to provide long-term observations of the Agulhas Current`s volume, heat and salt transport and its variability from mesoscale (eddies), through seasonal to interannual timescales. The ASCA shelf and tall moorings extend 200 km offshore along decending TOPEX/Jason satellite ground track # 96, through the core of the Agulhas Current, with CPIES measurements extending the array to 300 km offshore of Port Elizabeth. The data collected during this project have been obtained from various oceanographic instrumentation. This raw data was collected by the underway Scientific Data System (SDS), designed to collect, integrate and log and display various scientific, navigational and meterological sensors, instruments and systems onboard the ship. This data has been averaged into ten minute bins.
