This dataset contains physical data collected on small boat: WWU during cruise FidalgoBay_2017 in the Coastal Waters of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia from 2017-07-25 to 2017-07-28. These data include water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler. These data were collected by Dr Brady M. Olson, Dr Shawn M Arellano, and Dr Sylvia Yang of Western Washington University as part of the "RUI: Will climate change cause 'lazy larvae'? Effects of climate stressors on larval behavior and dispersal (Climate stressors on larvae)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-07-01.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
We programmed a Nortek 1MHz Aquadopp acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) to record velocity measurements in 0.3 meter vertical bins every 60 seconds. We then attached the ADCP instrument with sensors facing skyward to steel cross-bar frame and deployed it on the seafloor in Fidalgo Bay’s main channel for four days. We utilized Nortek AS software AquaPro version 1.27 to program and retrieve current velocity data from the Aquadopp instrument. This dataset includes these raw unprocessed data.
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
