Currents (Sontek Argonaut SL Acoustic Current Meters)

Temperature and Salinity (SeaBird SBE 37 Microcat)

Salinity data (raw and 40 HLP)

raw - data edited for data spikes, calibrated and checked for time and geographic continuity
3hlp - 3 hour lowpass filtered data from edited time series
40hlp - 40 hour lowpass (de-tided) filtered data from the 3hlp time series

Current components - U + toward east; V + toward north

Instrument Type

Type	Name	Parameters Recorded
Microcat	Seabird microcat SBE37	Time, temperature, conductivity
Seacat	Seabird Seacat SBE 16	Time, pressure, temperature, conductivity
Sontek	Acoustic current meter	2-D components of current in the selected water column and water temperature at instrument depth

 Data for NE Basin Basin Moorings

Instrument: modified Sontek Argonaut MD (2-beam, side looking)

Sampling Interval: 10 minutes for all raw current data

All current data were rotated along the channel and the along-channel (in and out of basin) transport computed.

Transport in the Channels
