CANEK database V1: Gridded data from a mooring section across the Yucatan Channel

Description

A daily gridded product from the CANEK mooring array (Sheinbaum et al., 2002; Candela et al., 2019) data is provided. The CANEK database consists of a set of observations (2012-2020) from a quasi-permanent mooring array with roughly constant spatial distribution, equipped to capture the velocity structure in the entire water column from a cross-section of the Yucatan Channel (see Figure 1 in the pdf).

The dataset provides gridded maps of horizontal velocity components \((u, v)\) in m/s, along with interpolation uncertainty maps \((s)\) expressed as a percentage of the signal standard deviation, covering the period from 2012 to 2020. This version also includes transport estimates through both the Yucatan and Florida sections, together with their associated uncertainties.

A reference to the accompanying article describing the dataset construction Durante et al., (in revision) will be included once the paper is published.
