The two moorings comprised: 1) a summer surface mooring deployed from NOAA ship Oscar Dyson in May, 2018 (cruise DY18-05, ID 18bsp-2a); and 2) a follow-on subsurface mooring deployed from Fishing Vessel F/V Aquila in October, 2018 (cruise AQ18-01, ID 18bs-2c). The summer deployment (18bsp-2a) was in the water from May to October, 2018 and was recovered via cruise AQ18-01; the over-winter platform (18bsp-2b) collected data from October, 2018 to April, 2019, and was recovered by NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson (cruise DY19-04). Water depth at this site is on average 70 meters. Data were collected using Teledyne RDI Workhorse Sentinel ADCP (WCP) (s/n 1950 and 3072). Data include U (east), V (north) and W (vertical) velocity components, Werr and temperature. The cruises were funded by NOAA, PMEL for the EcoFOCI program which included scientists from both NOAA and the University of Washington, Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (CICOES). Deployment and recovery operations on this cruise were managed by EcoFOCI personnel. Mooring time series data were processed at NOAA/PMEL/EcoFOCI using standard techniques. Time is recorded as UTC. Data were submitted as CF-compliant NetCDF files. Data contacts: Phyllis Stabeno, Shaun Bell, Ryan McCabe, Peggy Sullivan. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian ADCP ADCP Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures currents beneath a ship while underway. Sound signals sent from the moving ship bounce back to receivers aboard the ship. This provides a profile of water movement relative to the ship-precise modern navigation, allowing the ship's motion to be subtracted from the data. These devices are also used on moorings and profilers and, along with acoustic backscattering, measure animal biomass. Particles in the path of the sound waves, mostly plankton, reflect a small part of the sound energy back toward receivers, allowing researchers to make remote estimates of the sizes and numbers of animals present in the water column. Before the 1970's, the most technologically advanced instrument used to measure water velocity was known as a Doppler speed log. This evolved into the first commercial ADCP, produced in the mid-1970's, which used averaging. Later in the 1970's, the first vessel-mounted ADCP was developed to measure water velocity more accurately and to allow measurement in range cells over a depth profile. As instruments evolved, so did new techniques in Doppler signal processing. Initially, Doppler speed logs used simple analog signal processing methods, which are still used in some commercial speed logs today. However, the first ADCPs incorporated analog-to-digital signal conversion over a narrow communication bandwidth. Around 1990, this technique was developed into broadband signal processing. Since then, broadband ADCPs have been able to generate very accurate, real-time velocity measurements.
