Raw ADCP Data for long-term observations of currents on the Prince Edward Island shelf at M2 (April 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 raw data from an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), deployed at a depth of 267m, at location M2 (46.713°S; 37.902°E) on the Prince Edward Island shelf, between 26 April 2023 and 24 April 2024.
