| Summary: | In this article, we present three-dimensional current vectors obtained by 600 kHz vessel mounted Teledyne Workhorse Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). The data is collected during a field measuring campaign on the 25th to the 27th of September 2022 (spring tide) in the Alas Strait, Indonesia. The data presented is the first in-situ measurement in this region to collect ocean current data from a vessel moving across multiple cross-sectional transects. The collected ADCP raw data undergoes conversion to ASCII format, reformatting into a more organized tabulation, and quality control for removal of bad data due to biases, errors, interferences, and/or noises. Moreover, tidal and depth data are also provided. As many as 13 cross-sectional transects and one along strait transect are presented covering water depth from about 1.71 m to approximately 60 m. These current, tide, and depth datasets provide an opportunity to characterize current behaviour at specific tidal phases and locations. The cross-sectional observation could be used to calibrate and validate results from hydrodynamic models. |
