Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler data from the Coast of Bays, Newfoundland

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler data from the Coast of Bays, Newfoundland The dataset includes timeseries of horizontal current speed and direction, vertical current speed, water depth, and temperature at instrument depth from Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) moorings. Data were collected as part of a multiyear effort lead by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to support sustainable aquaculture regulation in the Coast of Bays, an area of the south coast of Newfoundland. This dataset is the third of a series aiming to provide an oceanographic knowledge baseline of the Coast of Bays, Newfoundland. It consists of 73 ADCP timeseries varying in length from about 26 days to 235 days collected between 2009 and 2014. Analyses from this dataset were presented during a Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) meeting which took place in St John’s in March 2015 (http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/schedule-horraire/2015/03_25-26b-eng.html) and from which a Science Advisory Report (http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/Publications/SAR-AS/2016/2016_039-eng.html), Proceedings (http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/Publications/Pro-Cr/2017/2017_043-eng.html) and several research documents were published. 2023-07-11 Fisheries and Oceans Canada Andry.Ratsimandresy@dfo-mpo.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentAquacultureGeographyPhysical sciencesHydrography Science Advisory Report 2016/039HTML http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/Publications/SAR-AS/2016/2016_039-eng.html Terms of ReferenceHTML http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/schedule-horraire/2015/03_25-26b-eng.html Proceedings 2017/043HTML http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/Publications/Pro-Cr/2017/2017_043-eng.html Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler data from the Coast of Bays, NewfoundlandESRI REST https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/FGP/ADCP_Coast_of_Bays/MapServer Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler data from the Coast of Bays, NewfoundlandESRI REST https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/FGP/ADCP_Coast_of_Bays/MapServer ADCP DataZIP https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/ADCP_Coast_of_Bays/ADCP_Coast_of_Bays.zip Coast of Bays ADCP stations 2009-2014CSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/ADCP_Coast_of_Bays/20181207_200904-201409_ADCP_stations.csv
