Description
This dataset contains the current velocity throughout the water column from an Nortek Acoustic Doppler Wave and Current profiler (AWAC). This dataset is from a small coastal ocean observing system 25 kilometers southwest of the mouth of Mobile Bay, Alabama (30.0902 N 88.2116 W), that the Dauphin Island Sea Lab has been operating. The instrument was in a bottom mounted upward looking trawl resistant housing in 20 m of water. Note the wave measurement component was not turned on for the deployment. This data is a subset of the regularly maintained FOCAL mooring. The deployment period was from June 21, 2018 to May 15, 2019. The instrument sampled the water column at 0.5 m bins for 5 minutes (i.e., 5 min average) every 20 min. Bin depth locations as well as all needed information is in the header file (Dump.hdr).
