A daily gridded product from the CANEK mooring array (Sheinbaum et al., 2002; Candela et al., 2019) data is provided. The CANEK database consists of a set of observations (2012-2020) from a quasi-permanent mooring array with roughly constant spatial distribution, equipped to capture the velocity structure in the entire water column from a cross-section of the Yucatan Channel (see Figure 1 in the pdf). For details of the mapping methods and procedures please refer to:Candela, J., Ochoa, J., Sheinbaum, J., Lopez, M., Perez-Brunius, P., Tenreiro, M., Pallás-Sanz E., Athié, G., Arriaza-Oliveros, L. (2019). The flow through the gulf of Mexico. Journal of Physical Oceanography, 49(6), 1381-1401. https://doi.org/10.1175/JPO-D-18-0189.1 The dataset provides maps of gridded horizontal velocity components \((u, v)\) in m/s, as well as the interpolation error maps \(\big(\sqrt{\langle \epsilon^2 \rangle}\big)\) (standard deviation of the optimal interpolation error in m/s) from 2012 to 2020. See the provided quick reference for details. The article containing the details on the construction of the dataset (Durante et al., to be submitted) will lead the next version of this database.

Main funding for creating this gridded data-base comes from CICESE internal funds (i.e., not from taxpayer money). Partial funding also provided by the National Council of Science and Technology of Mexico, Mexican Ministry of Energy, Hydrocarbon Trust, project 201441, as part of the Gulf of Mexico Research Consortium (CIGoM).
