Current and other data from FIXED PLATFORM from 01 November 1962 to 01 July 1971. Data were collected by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in support of the Buoy Project. Current parameters include East/West velocity component (u), North/South velocity component (v), current direction, and current speed. Digital data are not available at this time. An analog file is available.

The study was conducted by University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, Miami, Florida. The data collected were continuous physical data. Time series, current measurements and other data were collected. Current meter and depth sensors from fixed platform were used to collect data from September 23, 1972 to December 31, 1974.

Current and other data were collected from moored buoys from the A. A. CUNNINGHAM and other platforms in coastal waters of California from 19 April 1989 to 17 July 1990. Data were collected by the University of Washington as part of the Southern California Bight Experiment. Parameters include current speed, current direction, u component of velocity, v component of velocity, and temperature. Some instruments also include conductivity as indicated by a C in the variable(Variable) column. S indicates speed, rather than the usual u and v; this results from bad compass data.

Current meter data were collected using moored current meter casts in the Columbia River estuary - Washington/Oregon from August 13, 1979 to September 27, 1984. Data were submitted by Oregon State University as part of the Low Level Waste Ocean Disposal project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (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.

This data set contains December 2004 to January 2005 current meter measurements of surface layer speed and direction from project Interannual variability in vertical export in the Ross Sea (IVARS). Data sampling at 5-minute intervals. Original files provided in Microsoft Excel format. NCEI created redundant copies in CSV format.

Data were submitted by Dr. Frederick Prahl, Oregon State Univ., College of Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Corvallis, OR.

Current meter and temperature profile data were collected using current meter and buoy casts in the North Pacific Ocean from 01 October 1997 to 31 August 1998. Data were submitted by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory with support from the Vents Program (VENTS). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015 Current Meter Components 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.
