provides data from site near Frog City, South of US 41, 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. Citation Deng, Yang , Helena Solo-Gabriele, Michael Laas, Amy Omae. 2007-09-26.
