The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

Title: Hourly ADCP data from ARSV Laurence M. Gould and RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer cruises to the Southern Ocean from 2001-2003 as part of the Southern Ocean GLOBEC project (NCEI Accession 0288329)
Abstract: This dataset contains data collected on ARSV Laurence M. Gould and RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer during cruises LMG0103, LMG0104, LMG0106, LMG0201A, LMG0203, LMG0205, LMG0302, NBP0103, NBP0104, NBP0202, and NBP0204 in the South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and Southern Ocean from 2001-03-19 to 2003-02-13. These data include depth. The instruments used to collect these data include Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler. These data were collected by Dr Laurence Padman and Dr Susan L. Howard of Earth and Space Research Institute as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean (SOGLOBEC)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-02-22.

Hourly ADCP data

Dataset Description:
Southern Ocean GLOBEC Hourly ADCP Data

Quality

The following datasets have been processed and represent fairly accurate results. However, these datasets may undergo additional editing. The user is therefore cautioned that the files listed here for download may not be the final datasets.

If you would like to be notified when updated versions are available, email Susan Howard and you will be put on a list. Otherwise, please check back for updates. Notes on the quality of each data set are included in the downloads.

Format

The datasets have been created using MATLAB. They are converted to ASCII before serving using the JGOFS data management system. The files are also available for download in their original, zipped form. Each *.zip file contains a *.mat file and a readme.txt file. See the URL below for access to the original Matlab files.

Single Ping Data

Single ping data from all cruises have been archived, but are not yet available for distribution by ESR.

For additional documentation of the ADCP data collected during Southern Ocean Globec and for access to the original Matlab files, see http://www.esr.org/globec_index.html and http://www.esr.org/globec/adcp_data.html .

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
In 2001, the RVIB NB Palmer and RVIB LM Gould were upgraded to collect a full suite of data needed for full single-ping editing (i.e. processing single pings to ocean velocities). LMG0103, LMG0104, and LMG0106 were collected before the new system was implemented. The single ping data from these cruises can only be used as an aid for looking at amplitude (backscatter). NBP0103, NBP0104, NBP0202, NBP0204, LMG0201A, LMG0203, LMG0205, and LMG0302 datasets contain the complete set of data needed for processing the single ping data.
