  • Methods
    Sampling Description
    This dataset provides data from site near Gumbo Limbo Island, one of 6 sites in the SRS and was collected by Deng et al (team from University of Miami led by Helena Solo-Gabriele, reference in methods Citation).

    Method Step

    Description
    Sontek Argonaut ADV records water velocities 3000 times in a 5 minute interval every 15 minutes, and reports that as an average every 15 minutes. Velocity measurements are taken in x,y and z directions that are referenced to true North using the internal compass.

    Submission notes:
    Data missing in the following periods: Dec 1, 2004 - August 8, 2006; April 26, 2006 - June 15, 2006; May 6, 2007 - June 28, 2007; October 9,2006 - Jan 8,2007 due to equipment malfunction and data filters. Data from Jan - March 2007 also has values that are too high to reflect regional water flow at this site.

    Instrumentation
    Sontek Argonaut ADV

    Quality Control
    Following filters have been applied to exclude data: (1) Battery voltage <=6 V; (2) SNR=< 5 and Standard Deviation (SD) > =20; (3) SNR =< 2.5 and SD >=10
