Abstract

This report documents measurements from moored ADCPs at four different sites across the Faroe Bank Channel from November 1995 to May 2015. Simultaneous measurements from two ADCPs deployed very close to one another suggest high data quality. The strong bottom-near currents at three of the mooring sites induce instrument tilts that frequently exceed recommended limits, but analysis of potential effects indicates that the error in volume transport associated with this is negligible. Based on the updated dataset, previously developed algorithms for overflow volume transport are slightly modified and a new time series generated. The difference from previously reported series is small.
