The ADCP data has been edited for outliers using error velocity, percent good, and correlation threshold criteria. Bad data points have been replaced with NaN values. ADCP compass has been corrected for magnetic variation. A detailed data report will be made available in the near future. Each station contains three structure functions with a corresponding set of variables which are described below: velocity = u: East component of velocity (cm/s) v: North component of velocity (cm/s) time: [year month day hour min sec] sensor = w: Vertical velocity (cm/s) e: Error velocity (cm/s) depth: Corrected depth for each bin (m) dz: Distance from transducer to center of each bin (m) days: Year Day (continuous through year 2 of deployment) julian: Julian Day (from Jan 1, 0000) pitch: Tilt component (+ Beam 3 higher than Beam 4) roll: Tilt component (+ Beam 2 higher than Beam 1) heading: ADCP Heading (Beam 3) temp: From Microcat SBE37 (deg C) salt: From Microcat SBE37 (psu) soundV: Sound Velocity (m/s) current: Transmit Current pressure: From Microcat SBE37 (dB) beam_prop = echo1: Beam 1 Echo Intensity echo2: Beam 2 Echo Intensity echo3: Beam 3 Echo Intensity echo4: Beam 4 Echo Intensity corr1: Beam 1 Correlation Magnitude corr2: Beam 2 Correlation Magnitude corr3: Beam 3 Correlation Magnitude corr4: Beam 4 Correlation Magnitude pg1: 3 Beam Transformations pg2: Transformations Rejected pg3: More than one beam bad in bin pg4: 4 Beam Transformations
