Parameters typically recorded in current meter data comprise east-west and north-south velocity components, water temperature, pressure, and salinity at a nominal depth for each current meter. The data have been processed and are archived as part of the holdings of the CMR Data Centre in Hobart.

This dataset comprises the current meter data collected from the LUCIE Dongara locality (WA coast) during September 1986-August 1987, as part of the Leeuwin Current Interdisciplinary Experiment (LUCIE). There are 10 moorings with 29 current meters represented in this dataset. Parameters typically recorded in current meter data comprise east-west and north-south velocity components, water temperature, pressure, and salinity at a nominal depth for each current meter. The data have been processed and are archived as part of the holdings of the CMR Data Centre in Hobart.

This dataset comprises the current meter data collected from 2 localities in the Derwent Estuary, Tasmania (Blinking Billy Point and Tranmere) during October 1993-January 1994. The data contribute to the physical component of the Derwent Estuary study, carried out as part of the CSIRO Coastal Zone Program. There with 2 moorings and 4 current meters represented in this dataset. Parameters typically recorded in current meter data comprise east-west and north-south velocity components, water temperature, pressure, and salinity at a nominal depth for each current meter.

This dataset contains Tide Gauge data collected from the Drake Passage between Cape Horn and Antarctica from February 1975 to February 1976. These data were collected by Dr. Dale Pillsbury, Princeton University and submitted by J. Bottero from Oregon State University. The data were collected as part of the FDRAKE 75 project sponsored by IDOE under NSF grant number OCE74-12558. Aanderaa tide gauge was used to collect the tide data. Current meter data was also submitted from fixed platforms. Information regarding the exact locations of the moorings used to collect current meter data is available. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter (Components) (F015) format. The F015 format is used for time series measurements of ocean currents. These data are obtained from current meter moorings and represent 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 comprises 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 and negative directions west and south. 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.

There are 3 moorings with 3 current meters represented in this dataset. Parameters typically recorded in current meter data comprise east-west and north-south velocity components, water temperature, pressure, and salinity at a nominal depth for each current meter. The data have been processed and are archived as part of the holdings of the CMR Data Centre in Hobart.
