Description
These data contain shipboard current magnitudes and directions collected in the Pacific, both pelagic and near shore environments. Data is collected using an RD Instruments Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), operating at 75 kHz frequency. The ADCP transducer is installed on a "blister" at the bottom of the ship's hull, pointing vertically down in the watercolumn.
