| Abstract: | This data set contains Current and Pressure recording Inverted Echo Sounder (CPIES) measurements collected during the Kuroshio Extension System Study (KESS) under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation. The measurements were taken between April 2004 and June 2006. Data are from 46 sites. The measured quantities include bottom pressure, vertical acoustic round-trip travel time and near-bottom currents. |
