Ocean current data measured by the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) aboard the Development Driller III from 2010-05-31 to 2010-07-04 in the Gulf of Mexico in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (NODC Accession 0083634)

Ocean current data were collected by ADCP aboard the Discoverer Enterprise in the Gulf of Mexico in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill event on April 20, 2010. The Development Driller III (DD3) semisubmersible drilling rig was deployed to the site of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill incident to assist in the drilling of a relief well. This record is a summary of ADCP data that the Development Driller III collected from May 31, 2010 to July 04, 2010. The data from this ADCP is raw and unprocessed. Some of the datasets associated with this instrument are still incomplete and will be published as they become available.

本数据集为2010年4月20日墨西哥湾“深水地平线”（Deepwater Horizon）漏油事故响应期间，由搭载于“发现者企业号”（Discoverer Enterprise）的声学多普勒海流剖面仪（ADCP）采集的海流数据。第三台开发钻机（Development Driller III，简称DD3）半潜式钻井平台被部署至“深水地平线”漏油事故现场，协助实施减压井钻探作业。本记录为该开发钻机（DD3）于2010年5月31日至7月4日期间采集的ADCP数据汇总。该ADCP采集的数据均为原始未处理数据。与该仪器配套的部分数据集尚未完善，待相关资料齐备后将正式发布。
