Current meter - direction and other data from FIXED PLATFORMS in support of the Brine Disposal project from 1979-10-01 to 1980-01-01 (NCEI Accession 8000049)

Data were collected by the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) in support of the Brine Disposal project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F005 - Current Meter Data (Resultants) format.

Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f005.html. The F005 format is used for time series measurements of ocean currents obtained using moored current-measuring instruments, principally Aanderaa current meters (manufactured by Aanderaa Instruments Inc.). These data represent the Eulerian method of current measurement, i.e., the meters are deployed at a fixed mooring point and measure flow past the sensor.
