- Ensemble and Single Ping data collected on all cruises.
- Setup:
- 5 min ensembles, 8 m depth bins
- Pulse length (~ vertical averaging scale)
- 16 m (Gould: mooring and fall
cruises)
- 8 m (All other cruises)

- Good regional coverage and valuable “process” data from Gould process
sites.
- In general, 300m-400m depth coverage.
- Substantial data loss (entire profiles) when underway in ice and in bad
weather.

- ADCP data from GLOBEC I and II data have been processed.
- ADCP data from the first mooring cruise is still being processed.
- MAT files available at http://www.esr.org/globec/adcp_data.html.
- Data will be also served with JGOFS software.
- Additional editing is required on all data sets.

- Evidence of strong shear in much of the total ADCP record.
- Richardson number (Ri) obtained from ADCP and CTD can indicate potential
for mixing.

- Eric Firing, Jules Hummon, and Teri Chereskin have provided us with
invaluable assistance in the configuration and support of the shipboard
systems, as well as initial processing.
