Fisheries Oceanography in Coastal Alabama (FOCAL) acoustic doppler wave and current profiler data from 2020-08-05 to 2021-06-03 (NCEI Accession 0241013)

Description

The oceanographic community routinely collects time-series data of water current velocity of the marine environment. Such data are essential for establishing baseline characteristics of marine and estuarine ecosystems. This current velocity data from upward looking 600 kHz Acoustic Doppler Wave and Current Profiler (AWAC) is from 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 since 2004. The site is in approximately 20 m of water. These data were collected from late summer 2020 to late spring 2021.
