Ellesmere Island, Aug.-4, 3am: Start first ADCP survey Greenland, Aug.-4, 6am: Finish first ADCP survey Data Processing Challenge: Ice
ADCP Processing: Sorting and Screening Single Ping Data water track relative to ship (true East, unsorted) water track relative to ship (true North, unsorted) water track relative to bottom (true North, sorted) water track relative to bottom (true East, sorted) Ensemble average ~ 1 hour
