Current meter components and other data from FIXED PLATFORMS from the NE Pacific (limit-180) and others locations from 1983-10-25 to 1985-10-01 (NCEI Accession 8900149)

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

Current meter components data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS in the NE Pacific (limit-180) and others locations from 25 October 1983 to 01 October 1985.

Description

Data were collected by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015 Current Meter Components format.

Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f015.html. The F015 format contains time series measurements of ocean currents. These data are obtained from current meter moorings and represent the Eulerian method of current measurement, i.e., the meters are deployed at a fixed point and measure flow past a sensor.

Position, bottom depth, sensor depth and meter characteristics are reported for each station. The data record includes values of east-west (u) and north-south (v) current vector components at specified date and time. Current direction is defined as the direction toward which the water is flowing with positive directions east and north.

Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at 10 - 15 minute time intervals. Water temperature, pressure and conductivity or salinity may also be reported. A text record is available for optional comments.
