Improved quality of National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurements

摘要

In 2006, NOAA's National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) began an effort to add ocean sensors (directional waves, surface currents, current profiles, and ocean temperature and salinity) to its fleet of weather buoys. In this paper, we report on the improvements in the quality of ocean currents collected from the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP).
