Nova Scotia Current and Wave Data: Deployment Information

This dataset is complementary to the Centre for Marine Applied Research’s (CMAR) Current Data and Wave Data County datasets. The Current and Wave data are measured by Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCPs), which are typically deployed for 1 – 3 months in a single location. This Deployment Information dataset provides details for each ADCP deployment, including the variable(s) measured, the deployment location, and instrument configuration.
