This repository contains hourly Shelfbreak jet transport (Sv) derived from the three central moorings of the OOI Coastal Pioneer Array (https://ooinet.oceanobservatories.org/).  Transport is computed from east velocity component (u, in m/s), which is then depth integrated from 15 until 115m. The depth integrated velocity (m2/s) is transformed in transport considering a jet width of 40 km, and then converted into Sv (by dividing by 10^6 factor). Thus, to convert the transport time series back to m2/s, the time series must be divided by 4.10^10. Tides were removed from the velocity component, with Utide harmonic estimation, using the 68 standard tidal coefficients, except for the Semi-annual and Annual components (Sa and SSa).
