ADCP records from WHOTS
(the Woods Hole - Hawaii Time Series experiment)

Each of the WHOTS moorings contained at least one ADCP. As is often the case with these instruments the data are of mixed quality. As provided by SOEST, the time series contain many gaps and in some cases are noisy toward the end of the deployment. Most of the shallowest bins are not useful at all. We have reprocessed these records by filling the shorter gaps with appropriate interpolations and filtering and subsampling the resulting continuous time series. The original time series were recorded with a time increment of 10 minutes. The series we are providing here have a time increment of either one hour (WHOTS 1 through 7) or 30 minutes (WHOTS 8, 9, and 10). In each case we used a sharp cosine-Lanczos filter that removes frequencies higher than the Nyquist frequency. We believe that these filters sufficiently attenuate effects introduced by the interpolations and other doppler noise.
