Title:

Section Transport Data calculated from Hull-Mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Velocities collected aboard the R/V GARUPPA during SUMMER 2010 SADCP Survey

Description:

Abstract:

Volume transports were calculated through Virigin Passage and into and out of Vieques Sound (US Caribbean) between July 30,2010 and August 1, 2010 using a 300 kHz RD Instruments hull-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (SADCP) and RDI WinRiver II software aboard the R/V GARUPPA.

Purpose:

These transport 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.
