Acoustic doppler profilers at Ocean Station PAPA

Each of the PAPA moorings contained a Sentinel ADCP mounted just under the surface buoy, at a depth of about 2 meters. Several of these instruments failed to produce any usable data. Others functioned but produced time series contaminated by reflections from instruments on the line below them. We have chosen not to include any of the Sentinel data here. Fortunately, from Mooring PA-011 forward, PMEL placed an upward-looking Aquadopp ACDP at about 60 meters on each mooring. This is the ADCP data we have included here. These records have either a 30-minute or 60-minute time increment.
