Unknown Unknown Data from a ship-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) are reported from 7 ship cruises to the Antarctic, March - September 2001 and 2002. The survey area includes the continental margin off the Western Antarctic Peninsula and the adjacent inshore water bodies of Marguerite Bay and Crystal Sound. Ancillary north/south sections across the Drake Passage are reported for transects from Punta Arenas, Chile to the study area and return. Data reported: five minute ensemble averaged values of the U (east-west) and V (north-south) components of ocean currents, for 8 meter depth bins between 26 and ~350 meters, along the ships track.
