ADCP Skåpesund 2016

A bottom mounted, upward-looking, RDI Workhose 1200 kHz broadband ADCP was deployed in Stigfjorden near Skåpesund at depth 9 m, position (N58.101 E11.670) in the period 2016-08-17 to 2016-10-04. The ADCP was set up with 0.5 m vertical bins, 5 min ensembles, and 50 pings per ensemble.

Files:

The SkåpesundADCP.mat file is a matlab format export of the raw data using the WinADCP software.

The SkåpesundADCP_proc.mat file is a matlab format file containing processed data, where the main processing is to estimate the depth of each bin, and remove data before and after the deployment and above the levels influenced by the surface. The variable in this files are:

t: Time in decimal days ince 0000 00:00

z: Vertical coordinate of each bin in m relative to mean surface postion

u: East velocity (m/s)

v: North velocity (m/s)

w: Vertical velocity (m/s)

Funding:

The work was partly supported by the European Union Horizon 2020 project JERICO-NEXT (Joint European Research Infrastructure network for Coastal Observatory – Novel European eXpertise for coastal observaTories) grant agreement no. 654410.
