Only datasets that have passed the quality control and calibration stages, thus science-ready, are included in the JASADCP. The JASADCP is a collaboration of NOAA and the University of Hawaii Currents Group. The data have been contributed by both US and international organizations. Absolute U- and V-component ocean current vectors from SADCP, as both a high frequency sampling (nominally 5 minutes with 8 m depth bins) and an averaged subset (hourly time and 10 m depth means), are provided for the global oceans. The depth range was typically from 20 to 300 m prior to the late 1990s when penetration extended to over 1 km. Since the 2000's, most ships have been equipped with multiple ADCP sensors, each which is capable of simultaneously recording in different modes. This allows multiple profiles with variations in resolution and depth range, and in turn, gives new ways to analyze the data. Thus, each cruise can have several sonar-cruise sets, for each which the JASADCP assigns a unique SACID. The high frequency samples along with ancillary parameters of each sonar-cruise set are provided in the Common Oceanographic Data Access System (CODAS) binary format, from which long- and short-form NetCDF files are made. The long form is an exact dump of the CODAS binary database and holds the velocity of the water relative to the ship, velocity of the ship, and all available ancillary parameters. The short form gives currents in Earth coordinates with received signal strength and select ancillary parameters. The standard (averaged hourly/10m depth bins) subset is stored in ASCII and NetCDF. To produce a well-documented, easily-accessible, quality-assured archive of science-ready shipboard ADCP data to the scientific community.

It is much more than a program; it is a full Linux computer system configured to acquire, process, and serve data from any number of shipboard ADCP instruments together with the essential ancillary measurements of the ship's position and heading from any number of navigation devices. The automated processing executed by UHDAS several times per hour uses our ADCP data processing software, generally known as CODAS (originally meaning Common Oceanographic Data Access System, referring to its core database component). This software is also used in post-processing ADCP datasets: for hand-editing, filling gaps in sensor inputs, determining and applying calibration factors, etc. information Eric Firing author Jules Hummon author University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (UHM) https://manoa.hawaii.edu/ HTTPS University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (UHM) website Institution web page information publisher documentDigital crossReference userGuide eng; USA utf8 environment oceans -180 180 -90.00 90.00 1985-06-16 2026-01-09 NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information +1-301-713-3277 ncei.info@noaa.gov pointOfContact In most cases, electronic downloads of the data are free.

Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235. NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015. 2015-04-22T00:00:00 asNeeded Metadata are developed, maintained and distributed by NCEI. Updates are performed as needed to maintain currentness. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian 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. 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. current meter - PCM current meter - PCM profiling current meter current meter that is lowered (and perhaps raised) throught he water column.

ROBERT GORDON SPROUL Flag: United States Type: Research Vessel Operator: Scripps RRS Charles Darwin Updated information from ICES for the vessel CHARLES DARWIN from UNITED KINGDOM Code : 74AB Name : CHARLES DARWIN Flag : UNITED KINGDOM - GB (ISO Country Code) Call Sign : GDLS Title : RRS Platform Class : Research vessel IMO : 8207941 Commissioned Date : 1985-02-13 Decommissioned Date : 2006-06-30 Current Length : 69.4 Built : 1984 Notes : NERC deep-sea research vessel until sold in July 2006 and renamed Ocean Researcher. Same Vessels Info 74OA - OCEAN RESEARCHER General Comments: Wikipedia claims a build date of 1985, which is incorrect. I saw her in Falmouth fully fitted out and undergoing acceptance trials in September 1984. 1985-02-13 is date of first cruise. In Jan. 2007, the name associated with the code 74AB was changed to OCEAN RESEARCHER. In Feb. 2007 an additional code was created for the OCEAN RESEARCHER. In 2009, the platform group agreed attribute change and code creation procedures. The name for 74AB was changed back to CHARLES DARWIN.
