General

Dataset Name: Vessel-Mounted ADCP data in the Atlantic Ocean (2003-2004)
Data Holding Centre: OGS (Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale), Division of Oceanography
Time Period: From 30 November 2003 to 14 Jannuary 2004
Start Date: 2003-01-01
End Date: 2004-12-31
Project

Geocoverage: From the Mediterranean Sea, throught the Atlantic Ocean up to the Scotia Sea and Drake Passage (box 58S-36N, 50W-14E)
Geographic Box (south,north,west,east): -38, -50, 14, 36
Sea Area: Mediterranean Sea; Strait of Gibraltar; North Atlantic Ocean; South Atlantic Ocean

Parameters: Horizontal velocity of the water column (currents); Horizontal platform movement; Platform or instrument orientation; Vertical velocity of the water column (currents)
Instruments: current profilers

Summary: - The VMADCP continuously measures and records the marine current to a depth range of 750m. The VMADCP is interfaced with PHINS XSEA navigation system. The data acquired are georeferenced and corrected for the disturb induced by the pitch and roll of the ship.
