This report summarizes the Florida Current data collected along 27◦N during calendar year 2017 as part of the NOAA-funded Western Boundary Time Series project. This includes the daily Florida Current volume transport values estimated from one-minute voltage data on an out-of-service telephone cable, as well as observations collected on cruises on the R/V Walton Smith (i.e. full-water-column conductivity-temperature-depth, CTD, and lowered acoustic Doppler current profiler, LADCP, profiles). The report also includes shipboard (i.e. hull-mounted) ADCP data collected on the R/V Walton Smith, and dropsonde and expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data collected on small boat cruises. The data presented herein are in final processed and quality controlled form. The report also documents where the electronic files for these data can be obtained.
