These data are from tidal resource characterization measurements collected between April and July 2017 in Western Passage near Eastport, Maine, USA. The dataset contains the following four sub-datasets, each of which is described in more detail in the README.pdf. 1. A bottom-mounted Teledyne RDI Workhorse 600 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) was deployed at 44.92015 N, 66.98915 W in ~50 m of water from 3 April to 18 July (106 days). Data were recorded in 6-minute increments in the ENU (East, magnetic North, Up) coordinate system with bin-mapping enabled. 2. A bottom-mounted Nortek Signature 500 kHz ADCP was deployed at 44.92192 N, 66.98913 W in ~50 m of water from 4 April to 18 July (105 days). Data were sampled and recorded at 2 Hz and recorded in the ENU (East, magnetic North, Up) coordinate system. 3. Between those stations along a cross-channel transect, a Stable Tidal Turbulence Mooring (STTM) positioned ~10 m above the seabed was deployed for one week during a spring tide. The STTM was outfitted with two Nortek Vector acoustic Doppler velocimeters equipped with inertial motion units (ADVs), a bottom-tracking downward-looking Teledyne RDI Workhorse 600 kHz ADCP to provide motion-corrected flow and turbulence characteristics at high temporal resolution, and an upward-looking Teledyne RDI Sentinel V20 ADCP. The STTM was deployed at 44.92098 N, 66.98922 W from 24-31 May. 4. A vessel-mounted Teledyne RDI Workhorse 300 kHz ADCP collected current data along three transects over two days, 4-5 April. The data processing used DOLfYN version 0.11.2. All hdf5 files (i.e., files ending in `.h5`) contained here can be opened using that version of DOLfYN (e.g., `dat = dolfyn.load('')`). All distances are in meters (e.g., depth, range, MLLW, hab, eta, z_), and all velocities in m/s. See the DOLfYN documentation https://lkilcher.github.io/dolfyn/), and/or the Nortek and Teledyne RDI documentation for additional details. Additional details on the dataset can be found in the README.pdf, including: - Format details of each data file. - How to regenerate the data-processing (using the files in the `wp2017_processing.zip` archive).
