A netcdf data file of high-frequency (> 1 cpd) baroclinic mode-1 amplitude in the western North Atlantic derived from ocean acoustic tomography data collected during the Acoustic Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment (AMODE) in 1991. AMODE consisted of a pentagonal array of six moored instruments deployed between Puerto Rico and Bermuda. These are baroclinic amplitudes averaged over paths several hundred kilometers long.
