Long-term observations of daily currents on the Prince Edward Island shelf at M1 (May 2023 - April 2024)

The South African component of the international South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation project (SAMOC-SA) aims to characterize the time-mean and time-varying components of the SAMOC in the South Atlantic Ocean and monitor the variability of the main Southern Ocean frontal systems associated with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), south of Africa. Here we present processed magnitude and direction of daily currents throughout the water column (20.71m - 148.71m) from an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) at location M1 (46.772°S; 37.899°E) on the Prince Edward Island shelf, between 01 May 2023 and 24 April 2024.
