This dataset contains ADCP velocity, echo intensity, and compass heading from two near-bottom moorings in the south equatorial Atlantic Ocean in the Congo submarine canyon during ~3 month period from 2009-12-01 to 2010-03-23. Two ADCPs with acoustic frequencies of 300 kHz and 75 kHz were deployed on separate moorings placed in the channel axis 700 m apart and at ~2000 m water depth. They acquired data over a range of ~80 m above the seafloor (300 kHz) and 220 m above the seafloor (75 kHz). Data are in netcdf.
