University of North Carolina at Wilmington unknown Unknown None http://www.cormp.org/raw/Moorings/OB3M/ADCP/2003-04_2003-07/ An upward looking wave-upgraded ADCP was moored on the bottom at station OB3 in Onslow Bay, North Carolina at 17.1m depth on the continental shelf. Current data are sampled over one hour periods. Depth bins are 0.7 meters. The first bin is centered at 15.9 m depth and subsequent bins are spaced at 0.7 meter intervals above that. The last couple of bins are above the surface, and so are not useful. Waves bursts were collected every 4 hours. Each burst contains 2400samples collected at 2 Hz. Processing was done by Frederick M. Bingham, a professor of phyics at UNC Wilmington. Raw ADCP files were extracted from the instrument. Data have not been quality controlled in any way. This metadata record describes the raw file downloaded directly from the instrument. Coastal Ocean monitoring of the southeastern US continental shelf.
