Long-term observations of hourly currents on the Prince Edward Island shelf at Mooring 2 (April 2016 - April 2017)

The South African component of the international South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation project (SAMOC-SA) aims to characterise 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 hourly currents throughout the water column (41.68 - 249.68 m) from an ADCP at location M2 (46.7117°S; 37.900°E) on the Prince Edward Island shelf, between 24 April 2016 and 21 April 2017.
