The data are available in NetCDF format, grouped together in zip files by instrument site location. A README.txt file details the files contained within each zip, including the file names, type of data collected, instrument that collected the data, depth, and start and end dates/times. Purpose: The U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez initiated a project investigating circulation, water-column properties, and wave dynamics over the coral reefs on the southern insular shelf and upper insular slope of Puerto Rico near Guanica Bay and La Parguera in order to identify processes controlling resuspension and transport of shelf and land-sourced sediment.

Logical_Consistency_Report: No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted. Completeness_Report: Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. However, there are several known data issues. Any pressure measurements during Hurricane Maria are not correct due to extremely low atmospheric pressures. The HWP RDI acoustic Doppler current profiler (PRI17HWP01wh) has portions of data with poor beam correlation; users are advised to check beam correlation and percent good values. The S12 Nortek acoustic wave and current profiler also has erroneous values during Hurricane Maria for pressure, as well as wave period and wave direction. The Hurricane Maria time period for extremely low pressure is approximately 20-Sep-2017 00:00 to 22-Sep-2017 15:00. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the data set has not been conducted. Stated accuracy of the GPS unit used to geolocate the instrument package is +/- 5 m. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the data set has not been conducted. Accuracy of the vertical position of the instruments is +/- 0.5 m Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Oceanographic instruments were deployed on the insular shelf off the southwest coast of Puerto Rico to collect time-series data. Instruments included in deployment are: Nortek Acoustic Wave and Current meter, RBR Virtuoso D wave gauges, and Marotte HS current meters. Process_Date: 20170518 Process_Step: Process_Description: Oceanographic instruments were deployed at the shelf break (SBM, SBT) off the southwest coast of Puerto Rico to collect time-series data. Instruments included in deployment are: SeaBird SBE-56 temperature loggers, an RBR Virtuoso D wave gauge, and RBR temperature loggers. Process_Date: 20170711 Process_Step: Process_Description: Oceanographic instruments were deployed at the upper slope (HWM, HWP) off the southwest coast of Puerto Rico to collect time-series data. Instruments included in deployment are: an RDI 300-kHz Workhorse Monitor acoustic doppler current profiler, a Nortek Vector current meter, SeaBird SBE-37 Microcat temperature and salinity loggers, SeaBird SBE-56 temperature loggers, and RBR temperature loggers. Process_Date: 20170723 Process_Step: Process_Description: Data were accumulated into NetCDF files. Process_Date: 20180302 Process_Step: Process_Description: Files are named with a convention that uses a 13-digit alpha-numeric code. The first three characters for this dataset are all 'PRI' for the experiment name. The fourth and fifth characters represent the calendar year in which the first data point in the file was taken (17 = 2017). The sixth, seventh, and eighth characters are an alphanumeric code for the site name (S03, S12, etc.). The ninth and tenth characters represent the instrument position on the platform, where 01 is the instrument nearest the water surface. Next is a two or three-character code for data type (aw = Nortek acoustic wave and current profiler [AWAC]; ct = SeaBird SBE-37 temperature and salinity logger; mar = Marotte current meter; rbr = RBR wave gauge; tl = temperature logger; vec = Nortek Vector current and pressure meter; wh = RDI acoustic Doppler current profiler [ADCP]). An additional code may follow, either with or without a hyphen, to indicate the type of data subset in the file (-b = burst data; -s = burst-averaged data; -wvs = wave statistics; -cal = Nortek AWAC current and pressure data; WVS-p = Nortek AWAC wave statistics).
