Here, we present an update of 24 years of full-depth current velocity observations at 0°N, 23°W. With the presented current velocity data product, we aim to provide an important and accessible reference data set against which models and reanalysis output could be validated. The velocity time series will also be helpful for studies focusing on long-term climate variability to search for connections with changes in the equatorial circulation over the last 24 years. Earlier versions of this data product have already been used in a variety of studies and provided a significant contribution to an overall improved understanding of equatorial ocean dynamics. The moored observatory at 0°N, 23°W is an ongoing example of a successful multinational collaboration extending over more than two decades.-44.2506513.49973-18.6355739.00055Federal Ministry of Education and Researchhttps://doi.org/10.13039/50110000234703F0605BRole of the tropical Atlantic for climate variability in the Atlantic sector (RACE I)German Research Foundationhttps://doi.org/10.13039/50110000165927542298Climate - Biogeochemistry Interactions in the Tropical OceanHorizon 2020 of the European Commissionhttps://doi.org/10.13039/501100007601817578Tropical and South Atlantic climate-based marine ecosystem predictions for sustainable managementSeventh Framework Programme of the European Commissionhttps://doi.org/10.13039/100011102603521Enhancing Prediction of Tropical Atlantic Climate and its Impact
