Current direction data from moored current meter casts in the Delaware Bay from 1976-02-23 to 1985-09-23 (NCEI Accession 8600005)
Current direction data were collected using moored current meter casts in the Delaware Bay from February 23, 1976 to September 23, 1985. Mr. C.R. Muirhead of National Ocean Service (NOS), Rockville, MD submitted these data. This submission comprises two data sets. The first data set are the Eulerian Current measurements from Beaufort Inlet. These data were collected as part of the Beaufort Inlet Circulation Survey done from February to May 1976. These data have been processed and are available in NODC format F005. The other data set contains data which were collected as part of the Delaware Inlet Circulation Survey. Delaware Bay was sampled from February to May 1985. Only temperature data were submitted. 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. Position, water depth, and sensor depth are reported for each station. The data record comprises values of current direction and speed at specified date and time. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at 10-15 minute time intervals. Other environmental parameters may also be reported. These include: water temperature, salinity, conductivity, and transmissivity; wind direction and speed; and dominant wave direction, height, and period.
