There are two observational periods. Periods 1 and 2 are 12/13/2018 23:00 to 2/6/2019 22:30 and 3/8/2019 23:00 to 5/8/2019 19:00, respectively. The coordinates for BBN and BBS are 29.420417 N, 89.944028 W, and 29.343889 N, 89.940833 W, respectively. More details, such as height above the bed for each sensor, can be found in Li et al. (2021). Data are in three Excel files. There are multiple sheets in each Excel file. BBS2, for instance, is for Barataria Bay South tripod station in Period 2. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.

Updates are performed as needed to maintain currentness. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) High-resolution acoustic instruments to study rapid 3D velocity fluctuations ADVs have three or more focused beams to measure with high sampling rates in a small point. They work by sending out a short acoustic pulse from the transmit element. When the pulse travels through the focus point for the receiver beams, the echo is recorded in each of the acoustic receiver elements. The echo is then processed to find the Doppler shift, the scaling is adjusted with the measured speed of sound in the liquid (hence the temperature measurement), and the velocity vector is recorded or transmitted to a PC at a rapid rate. http://www.nortek-as.com/en/products/velocimeters acoustic sensor acoustic sensor generic instrument type for sensing sound in the water column Use acoustic sensor for a variety of types of observations, including acoustic tomography, whale and other marine mammal sound detection, etc. Do not use acoustic sensor for instrument type when the thing being measured is distance to seafloor: use echo sounder or sidescan sonar as appropriate. CTD CTD Conductivity-Temperature-Depth probe temperature sensor temperature sensor A sensor used to measure temperature. turbidity sensor turbidity sensor Measures the turbidity of water Turbidity sensors measure the amount of light that is scattered by suspended solids in a liquid, such as water. When the concentration of total suspended solids (TSS) and total dissolved solids (TDS) in a liquid increase, the turbidity also increases.
