Abstract

Vessel-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) provide velocity profiles of the upper ocean along the ship track. They are a key tool in oceanographic research to study the oceanic circulation and the associated distribution of mass, heat, contaminants and other tracers. In order to obtain high-quality ocean current data from vessel-mounted ADCP measurements, a number of requirements must be met, from system installation and data acquisition measures to certain essential processing steps. Here, we present an open-source Python toolbox called OSADCP for scientists to convert, clean, calibrate and organize binary raw vessel-mounted ADCP data for scientific use. The toolbox is designed to process ADCP measurements in deep water by Teledyne RDI Ocean Surveyor ADCPs and the data acquisition software VMDAS.
