Profile Measurements and Data From the 2011 Optics, Acoustics, and Stress In Situ (OASIS) Project at the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory

Tables 5-11 provided links to download the processed data. Measurements from instruments on the profiling arm and nearby monopod (mooring 911) are specifically indicated (tables 5 and 7); otherwise, the data provided are from a fixed location on the tripod (mooring 910). All data from the profiling arm and all unprocessed burst data are considered nonstandard data because they do not conform to the standard time series data format specified in Montgomery and others (2008; http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2007/1194/). A more detailed explanation of the nonstandard data can be found in appendix 4.
