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: March 3, 2008 - October 6, 2008; November 4, 2008 - January 5, 2009; April 4, 2009 - May 29, 2009; June 15,2009 - July 14,2009 due to equipment malfunction and data filters. There are some smaller gaps as well due to data filters. References: Deng, Yang , Helena Solo-Gabriele, Michael Laas, Amy Omae. 2007-09-26.
