    Mooring Locations:

    You can access the SBCSMB ADCP data for a particular mooring by clicking the mooring location on the map or on the mooring name below.

    The four long term MMS moorings are the only ones with moored ADCP data: SAMI, SMIN, SMOF and ANMI, noted in blue, have been deployed since early 1992.

    Downward looking Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) have been in place on four NDBC buoys over the course of the SBCSMB deployment. These sites are noted in red on the map.
