Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Data for Seneca Lake, New York, 2018

This child item data set contains acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data collected during 2018 from an open water platform on Seneca Lake New York (USGS station number 425027076564401) as part of the Advanced Monitoring Pilot study. This data set includes the raw binary data files from the ADCPs as well as tabulated text files of echo intensity, backscatter, velocity, and ancillary data. Tables were created by processing raw data files in R-language oceanographic package OCE (Kelley and others, 2022) and TRDI WinRiver II (Teledyne RD Instruments, 2007). All aggregation, manual magnetic variation calculations, and post-processing were completed using Python libraries pandas (McKinney, 2010) and NumPy (Harris and others, 2020).
