Vessel-mounted ADCP current measurements from offshore Namibia during RV METEOR cruise M122

The main objectives of the study are to characterize the sedimentary structures observed in the area where internal waves interact with the seafloor and to identify the interaction and breaking mechanisms that result in seafloor erosion and sediment resuspension. We measured current velocity with a vessel-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (VM-ADCP) OS75 off Namibia (SE Atlantic Ocean). The data was collected during R/V METEOR cruise M122 in 2016.
