Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling in the Western Pacific During the WOCE P10 Cruise, November/December 1993.

Abstract

The objective of this cruise was to occupy a hydrographic section nominally along 149E from Papua New Guinea to the shelf off the coast of Japan near Yokohama as part of the one-time WOCE Hydrographic Programmed survey of the Pacific Ocean, line P10. This report describes the processing of shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data that were collected during this cruise. New GPS-based heading measurements (Ashtech heading), which increase the accuracy of the ADCP, are covered in detail. A subset of the processed data from the New Guinea Coastal Undercurrent and from the Kuroshio is presented.
