README_adcp.txt

Overview:

 This data set provides ADCP measurements collected during the Lagrangian Transport and Transformation Experiment (LATTE) from May 01, 2004 through May 06, 2004. Data were collected from the R/V Hatteras.

Data files are partitioned in the following way:

Pre-injection 1 - May 1, 00:00:00 - May 2, 13:50:00
Injection 1 - May 2, 13:50:00 - May 4, 01:13:00
Pre-injection 2 - May 4, 01:13:00 - May 4, 13:40:00
Injection 2 - May 4, 13:40:00 - May 6, 01:30:00
Post-injection - May 6, 01:30:00 - May 7, 00:00:00


Data format:

There are two file formats provided, Matlab (*.mat) and ASCII format.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variables included in Matlab data files are:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name	Description        
  
btu	Bottom Track East velocity (m/s)
btv  	Bottom Track North velocity (m/s)
u	Water Velocity E-W (m/s)
v	Water Velocity N-S (m/s)
lat	Latitude(Degress)
lon	Longitude(Degrees)
time	Matlab datenum time
bins 	bin depths(m)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASCII files are formatted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

First fifty lines are bin depths

Then each ensemble has:

Time
Latitude
Longitude
Bottom track V 	Bottom Track V
U Velocity(50)	V Velocity(50)
