Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V07, titled 'SWOT-ACC: smaller scales of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in a meander south of Tasmania.' The voyage occurred between November 15, 2023 and December 20, 2023, departing from and returning to Hobart. Data were processed and archived by CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure.
Use Cases
- Analyzing ocean current velocity profiles based on ADCP measurements
- Studying mesoscale variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current south of Tasmania based on the voyage's focus
- Investigating the performance of different ADCP systems (OS150kHz and WH75kHz) in narrowband and broadband modes
Strengths
- Data is quality-controlled and archived by CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure
- Voyage had a specific scientific focus on the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
- Transducers were located approximately 7.2m below the water line due to keel extension
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
