Description:
Abstract:
Nortek 600kHz Aquadopp acoustic current profilers were deployed between April 2011 and September 2011 on shallow water moorings located on the coastal shelf south of St. Thomas near Grammanik Bank SPAG and Frenchcap Cay, USVI. The recovered current velocity, bottom pressure, and bottom temperature time-series data are presented here in an ACII format.
Purpose:
These oceanographic data were collected for the purpose of examining flow through Virgin Passage (between Culebra, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, USVI) and into and out of Vieques Sound (between Culebra, Puerto Rico and Vieques, Puerto Rico) in the US Caribbean, and across the USVI coastal shelf south of St. Thomas.
