<<< Brief description for data from Lowered ADCP (LADCP) on-board R/V Mirai during CINDY2011 >>> - Outline This directory contains data files from LADCP operated during CINDY2011 special observation period (SOP). - Files in this directory Data files named ladcp_8S_NNN.asc where "NNN" means "observation number" which is identical to that for CTD observation (see description on CTD data). The observation was conducted every 3 hours, thus the number could be converted to the time as follows: 001 - 193: (N-1)*3[hrs] + 06UTC on Sep.29, 2011 ( 001 for 09UTC on Sep.29, 2011 007 for 00UTC on Sep.30, 2011 193 for 06UTC on Oct.24, 2011 ) 194 - 420: (N-194)*3[hrs] + 00UTC on Oct.31, 2011 ( 194 for 00UTC on Oct.31, 2011 420 for 06UTC on Nov.28, 2011 ) - Descriptions Data is in ASCII format. Each line indicate data from one layer, as: first column : depth [m] second column : zonal (eastward) velocity, in [m/s] third column : meridional (northward) velocity, in [m/s] - Contact For further information, contact Kelvin Richards of U.
