#TITLE: 
Currents, temperature, and salinity data recorded continuously
from May - December 2010 from the surface to 1000 m at
a coastal location near the 1600 m isobath off SW Oahu 

#ABSTRACT: 
The dataset contains ADCP Workhorse Long Ranger current records from 50-950m
depth and Seabird CTD at 20,80, 130, 230, 500, 850, and 1000m, recorded
continuously from May-Dec of 2010. The raw data files are about 250MB in
total. The mooring was sponsored by Naval Facilities Command Engineering
Service Center (NAVFAC) at Port Hueneme, CA, and Sound and Sea Technology, with
additional instrumentation provided by Makai Ocean Engineering and deployment
and planning by Todd Erickson of the School of Ocean and Earth Science and
Technology, University of Hawaii. The unprocessed raw ASCII
files have self explanatory headers. The data are clean and do
not require any filtering or de-spiking. The same data are also available as
a Matlab file (67MB), which has had minimal processing other than
interpolating short time gaps.

#PURPOSE:  
Understand currents and density structure in support of potential Ocean
Thermal Energy Conversion site.

#PROJECT:
NAVFAC/Sound and Sea Mooring Barbers Point

#FUNDING:
Naval Facilities Command Engineering Service Center of Port Hueneme, CA

#ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
Sound and Sea Technology, who subcontracted with Todd Erickson at University
of Hawaii.  The acoustic releases and ADCPs were a loan by Makai Engineering.
Data processing and management provided by Greg Rocheleau of Makai
Engineering.

#DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION, FILE NAMES AND FORMATS:
Directory data/0-data: contains data files as provided to NODC 

Files in data/0-data:

All of the following files with txt or cnv filename extensions
are ASCII text format.  All of these text files are raw (unprocessed).  
Further below is described a Matlab file, which has
had minimal processing, specifically, interpolating short time gaps.
Comment from Greg Rocheleau: "The data are quite clean and do not 
require any filtering or de-spiking."

FILE: ADCP EAST.txt
CONTENT: Eastward Currents (m/s) from ADCP
FORMAT DESCRIPTION: Metadata provided in the file to explain location,
depths, bin spacing, dates, times, time zone, and units of data. Order
of parameters defined by a header.

FILE: ADCP NORTH.txt
COMMENT: as above yet for Northward Currents (m/s)

FILE: ADCP Temp505m.txt
COMMENT: temperature data from ADCP, self-descriptive

FILE: Metadata.txt
COMMENT: Information about the originators, instruments, and files

FILE: SBE37SM_03707667_20m_101221.cnv
CONTENT: CTD data at 20 m depth 
FORMAT DESCRIPTION: Standard output from SBE instrument with 
self-descriptive metadata.  The data are aligned in nine columns, explained
consecutively in "name 0" through "name 8".  Note date/time is given
in column 8 as seconds after the start time, May 12 2010 14:00:01,
defined as 326988001 seconds.

The following text files mirror the file above except with depth defined
in the filename:
FILE: SBE37SM_03707777_80m_101221.cnv
FILE: SBE37SM_03707776_130m_101221.cnv
FILE: SBE37SM_03707778_230m_101221.cnv
FILE: SBE37SM_03706935_850m_101220.cnv
FILE: SBE37SM_03707414_1000m_101220.cnv

The following is a Matlab file
FILE: NAVFAC_SST_Mooring_Data.mat
COMMENT: The Matlab file was created from the text files defined above
for convenience of analysis.  The data are parsed into structs: e.g. 
sbe80.time is the time (in matlab datenum format), sbe80.temp is the 
temperature record, sbe80.press is the pressure, etc.  The current data 
within the matlab file is provided in mm/s.
Time is Hawaii Standard Time.
