These are data files from a 12.5-hour continuous survey done in Sand Shoal Inlet in Eastern Shore of Virginia on the Delmarva Peninsula on May 12, 1999.

The ADCP data files are: SS01002T.000, SS01003T.000, and SS01004T.000.

The CTD data files are named as SNDSHL**.CNV (a total of 33 files).

ADCP data are measured from the RDI’s old program Transect.

Ship Track:  Repeated samplings of ADCP were made along four transects connected by four points:

           [1] 37 17.918 N,  75 48.596 W

           [2] 37 18.344 N,  75 48.248 W

           [3] 37 17.884 N,  75 47.981 W

           [4] 37 18.054 N,  75 47.664 W

CTD stations:

           {1} 37 18.174 N,  75 48.378 W

           {2} 37 17.978 N,  75 47.787 W
