Summary
Abstract: The Lowered Accoustic Doppler Current Profiler (LADCP) data were acquired while the Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) sensor was in the water during the Australian 2006 V3 BROKE-west survey.

Data Acquisition:

The LADCP is mounted on the CTD frame and is lowered through the water column from surface to bottom on each CTD cast. During the cast upward and downward ... View entire text

ADCP > Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Ancillary Description
Quality LADCP data were collected at every CTD station on BROKE-west except for stations 1, 2, and 119. Stations 5,46,91,92 and 96 have only basic LADCP velocities (unconstrained by GPS and ship ADCP data), and stations 68 and 115 have no data as yet due to difficulties in processing the raw data.

The LADCP was calibrated before departure. The LADCP final processing makes extensive use of shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data which will not be properly calibrated until after the voyage return, and should therefore be regarded as preliminary only and subject to significant change. LADCP reprocessing with properly calibrated ADCP data will be carried out after the voyage.
