Raw ADCP data for long-term observations of currents on the Prince Edward Island shelf at Mooring 2 (April 2015 - April 2016)

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 raw data from an ADCP, deployed at a depth of 265m, at location M2 (46.7126°S; 37.900°E) on the Prince Edward Island shelf, between 19 April 2015 and 22 April 2016.
