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

 Data for West 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

West Basin Florida Bay (Dry Season 2005) Along Channel Transport 3 and 40 hour low pass filtered
