Line W is a line of moorings placed by Woods Hole oceanographers across the Gulf Stream southeast of Cape Cod. The moorings contained VACMs and SeaBird temperature, salinity, and pressure recorders. The first mooring was deployed in 2001 and at the present date the experiment is ongoing. All of the SeaBird measurements were recorded with a time increment of 15 minutes, and most of the VACM records have a 30-minute increment. We translated these records from netCDF variants that WHOI has made available online.
The seafloor depths shown below for each mooring site are averages over the duration of the experiment.
