VACMs The data file vacms_basics.tar.gz includes one file for each mooring deployment. Naming convention for these is K-year [1 or 2]-mooring [1-8] - vacm.mat Content of these files is self-explanatory. Most of the VACM data are at 1500 m, but some moorings had an additional one above the MMPs. The VACMs have pressure and temperature sensors.
