Conductivity data were collected using moored current meter casts in the North Pacific Ocean from April 23, 1979 to October 1, 1981. Data were submitted by University Of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science as part of the BORAX 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.

Temperature data were collected using moored current meter casts in the Northeast Pacific Ocean and Northwest Atlantic Ocean from June 9, 1981 to April 1, 1983. Data were submitted by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) as part of the LOTUS project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (F015) format.

Current direction, temperature, and salinity data were collected using moored current meter casts in the North Pacific Ocean from June 1, 1983 to August 1, 1983. Data were submitted by National Ocean Service (NOS). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (F005) format. 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.

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.

Temperature and pressure data were collected using moored current meter casts in the South Atlantic Ocean from January 27, 1986 to April 15, 1987. Data were submitted by Texas A&M University as part of the Abyssal Boundary Current Studies (ABCS) 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.

Temperature, conductivity, east-west current component, north-south current component, depth, pressure, and salinity data were collected using current meter, thermistor, mooring casts in the Pacific Ocean. Data were collected from June 28, 1982 to November 23, 1983. Data were submitted by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of the Emperor Seamount Experiment. The Emperor Seamount Experiment included hydrographic observations, current meter moorings, and analysis of historic data in the region of the Emperor Seamounts. The Emperor Seamount Chain is the major topographic feature which the Kuroshio and Subarctic fronts cross. Data from the current meters provided a picture of changes in mean and eddy kinetic energy and velocity shear between the basins separated by the seamounts. The principal investigator was Bruce Taft, at that time associated with the University of Washington. Current meter work was done by the OSU Buoy Group under Dale Pillsbury. Four moorings carrying 14 current meters were installed in June of 1982. Recovery was attempted 17 months later, in November of 1983. Two moorings were recovered in their entirety. One current meter was recovered from a third mooring, and the fourth mooring was lost. In all, 8 meters were recovered. Seven gave good data and one flooded. Data has been processed to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (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.
