Current meter data from moored current meter in the Gulf of Mexico as part of the Gulf of Mexico Physical Oceanography project from 1984-05-05 to 1989-05-18 (NCEI Accession 8900258)

Data consists of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiles recorded in NODC'S F004 format. The data were collected using an Ametek-Straza instrument aboard the R/V CAPE FLORIDA, cruise no. CF-8405 in May 1984. These data were collected by the University of Miami in the Gulf of Mexico and its part of years 1 and 2 of SAIC'S Mineral Management Service (MMS) sponsored Gulf of Mexico Physical Oceanography Program. This program was funded under MMS contract number 14-12-0001-29158. The data were recorded in ASCII format and submitted by Dr. Evans Waddell.

The F004 format is used for data from measurements and analyses of physical and chemical characteristics of the water column. Among chemical parameters that may be recorded are salinity, PH, and concentration of oxygen, ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, chlorophyll, and suspended solids. Physical parameters that may be recorded include temperature, density (sigma-t), transmissivity, and current velocity (east-west and north-south components). Cruise and station information, including environmental conditions of the study site at the time of observations, is also included.

本数据集包含以美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）F004格式存储的声学多普勒海流剖面（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiles）数据。该数据于1984年5月随CF-8405号航次，由搭载于“佛罗里达角号”研究船（R/V CAPE FLORIDA）的阿梅特克-斯特拉扎（Ametek-Straza）仪器采集获取。该数据由迈阿密大学在墨西哥湾采集，属于SAIC旗下由矿产管理服务局（Mineral Management Service, MMS）资助的墨西哥湾物理海洋学项目的第1、2年度研究数据。该项目的资助合同编号为MMS 14-12-0001-29158。本数据以ASCII格式存储，并由埃文斯·沃德尔博士提交。

F004格式用于存储水柱物理与化学特性的测量及分析数据。可记录的化学参数包括盐度、pH值、氧、氨、硝酸盐、磷酸盐、叶绿素及悬浮固体浓度；可记录的物理参数涵盖温度、密度（sigma-t）、透射率以及海流流速的东西向与南北向分量。数据集同时包含航次与测站信息，包括观测时刻研究区域的环境条件。
