Data is collected using an RD Instruments Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), operating at 75 kHz frequency. The ADCP transducer is installed on a "blister" at the bottom of the ship's hull, pointing vertically down in the watercolumn. ADCP current data obtained during shipboard surveys are used to study the current characteristics of specific mesoscale environments, such as mesoscale eddies and seamounts, and the effects of these environments on the ecosystem. onGoing Domokos, Reka (808)725-5368 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA reka.domokos@noaa.gov 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. M-F pointOfContact Domokos, Reka (808)725-5368 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA reka.domokos@noaa.gov 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. M-F custodian annually ADCP EOP ESD PIFSC current direction current magnitude theme 1 per second 1 per two seconds Discrete sampling periods temporal Hawaii North Central Pacific North Western Pacific Pacific Ocean South Central Pacific mesoscale oceanographic features seamounts place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/PIFSC > Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
