KITES (Keweenaw Interdisciplinary Transport Experiment in Superior) is a project administered by the Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington and the Large Lakes Observatory, University of Minnesota, Duluth to assess the impact of the Keweenaw Current on cross margin transport in Lake Superior.
It is part of an interdisciplinary program to quantify the role of coastal currents and thermal fronts in mediating cross-margin transport in Lake Superior. The focus has been on the physical processes that allow materials to cross the coastal margin and enter the open lake. From May 1998 - May 2001 the Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington and the Large Lakes Observatory, University of Minnesota, Duluth conducted a series of four cruises based on coordinated use of moored instruments and shipboard ADCP and CTD surveys.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information
NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235. NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015.

ADCP
Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler
The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures currents beneath a ship while underway. Sound signals sent from the moving ship bounce back to receivers aboard the ship. This provides a profile of water movement relative to the ship-precise modern navigation, allowing the ship's motion to be subtracted from the data. These devices are also used on moorings and profilers and, along with acoustic backscattering, measure animal biomass. Particles in the path of the sound waves, mostly plankton, reflect a small part of the sound energy back toward receivers, allowing researchers to make remote estimates of the sizes and numbers of animals present in the water column. Before the 1970's, the most technologically advanced instrument used to measure water velocity was known as a Doppler speed log. This evolved into the first commercial ADCP, produced in the mid-1970's, which used averaging. Later in the 1970's, the first vessel-mounted ADCP was developed to measure water velocity more accurately and to allow measurement in range cells over a depth profile.
As instruments evolved, so did new techniques in Doppler signal processing. Initially, Doppler speed logs used simple analog signal processing methods, which are still used in some commercial speed logs today. However, the first ADCPs incorporated analog-to-digital signal conversion over a narrow communication bandwidth. Around 1990, this technique was developed into broadband signal processing. Since then, broadband ADCPs have been able to generate very accurate, real-time velocity measurements.
