Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Data for Owasco Lake, New York, 2020

This child item data set contains acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data collected during 2020 from an open water platform on Owasco Lake New York (USGS station number 425327076313601) 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).
