Processed current measurement data collected at the Lau basin during Thompson cruise TN235 (2009, investigator Charles Fisher)

This data set was collected with an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) device as part of the projects called Processes and patterns in back arc basin hydrothermal vent communities, and Site evaluations and background studies of interactions among fluid chemistry, physiology, and community ecology for Ridge 2000 Lau Basin Integrated Studies. Funding was provided by NSF awards OCE02-41250, OCE02-40985, OCE07-32333 and OCE07-32439.本数据集借助声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, ADCP）采集完成，其采集工作隶属于两项研究项目，分别为《弧后盆地热液喷口群落过程与模式》以及《脊2000（Ridge 2000）劳盆地综合研究中流体化学、生理学与群落生态学相互作用的场地评估及背景研究》。本数据集的采集工作获得了美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）编号为OCE02-41250、OCE02-40985、OCE07-32333及OCE07-32439的项目资助。
