Arc-en-Sub: Seafloor current meter records at Rainbow Massif (AES_C01, AES_C02A, AES_C02B), May 2022

Current meter Nortek Aquadopp data. Data for 2 current meter deployments of NORTEK Aquadopp instruments at the Rainbow Massif. Instruments where kindly provided by the Parc National d'Instrumentation Océanographique de l'INSU. Data is provided in 2 sets of files, corresponding to deployments AES_C01 and AES_C02. The instruments where installed in a broadband OBS (BBOBS) from the INSU OBS National Park.  Deployment AES_C02 includes two lowerings (see information below, indicated as deployments AES_C02A and AES_C02B).

AES_C01 with current meter serial number : A6L6094 (head) AQD11097 (Hardware), deployed on BB03 with deployment AES_B01_BB3. Bottom position: 36.23544°N, 33.91036°W, 2505 m waterdepth.

AES_C02_A with current meter serial number : A6L6127 (head) AQD11247 (Hardware), deployed on BB02, deployment AES_B03_BB02. Bottom position: 36.22233°N, 33.87996°W, 1950m waterdepth.

AES_C02_B with current meter serial number : A6L6127 (head) AQD11247 (Hardware), deployed on BB02, deployment AES_B06_BB02. Bottom position: 36.2020833°N, 33.8118833°W, 2557m waterdepth. Data are provided in two zipped files that include: AESC0101.aqd: Aquadopp binary file AESC0101.dat: Ascii table of data - full record AESC0101.dia: Aescii data file - partial record AESC0101.hdr: Instrument parameter information and description of columns in AESC0101.dat AESC0101.mat: Matlab file corresponding to AESC0101.dat AESC0101.ssl: Log of instrument (error and info messages) In addition to several instrument logs: AESC01_start.log AES_C01_deploy.dep AESC01_start.dep

The ascii file contains 27 columns as follows:   1   Month                         (1-12)   2   Day                              (1-31)   3   Year   4   Hour                             (0-23)   5   Minute                          (0-59)   6   Second                          (0-59)  7   Error code   8   Status code   9   Velocity (Beam1|X|East)          (m/s) 10   Velocity (Beam2|Y|North)     (m/s) 11   Velocity (Beam3|Z|Up)           (m/s) 12   Amplitude (Beam1)                (counts) 13   Amplitude (Beam2)                (counts) 14   Amplitude (Beam3)                (counts) 15   Battery voltage               (V) 16   Soundspeed                   (m/s) 17   Soundspeed used         (m/s) 18   Heading                          (degrees) 19   Pitch                             (degrees) 20   Roll                             (degrees) 21   Pressure                         (dbar) 22   Pressure                         (m) 23   Temperature                  (degrees C) 24   Analog input 1 25   Analog input 2 26   Speed                             (m/s) 27   Direction                        (degrees) Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.
