Velocity and Turbulence Measurements at Three Locations in the Salish Sea, WA, 2017

In progress License 

This submission contains raw and processed datasets of water velocity and turbulence measurements from 3-day deployments of StableMoor buoys carrying ADVs at locations in Rosario Strait, Bellingham Channel, and Tacoma Narrows, WA from 2017.

The Rosario Strait mooring was deployed at 48.5800 N, 122.6597 W in 52 m of water from July 24, 2017 - July 27, 2017.
The Bellingham Channel mooring was deployed at 48.5601 N, 122.7501 W in 86 m of water from July 24, 2017 - July 27, 2017.
The Tacoma Narrows mooring was deployed at 47.2766 N, 122.5466 W in 36 m of water from Nov 14, 2017 - Nov 17, 2017.

Each Stablemoor was designed to fly at an altitude of 10 m and carried multiple instruments:

1. A Nortek Vector acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) mounted at the front of the StableMoor. Data were recorded continuously at 16 Hz. Data was motion-corrected using the internal IMU and external ADCP bottom-track data and then bin-averaged into 10 minute bins and converted to the Principal (streamwise, cross-stream, vertical) coordinate system.

2. The Rosario Strait and Tacoma Narrows StableMoor buoys carried down-looking Teledyne RDI Workhorse 1200 kHz ADCPs. Data were recorded continuously at 2 Hz with bottom-track enabled. Processed data has been averaged into 10 minute bins and converted into the Principal coordinate system.
