Data were collected from the late 1800's to 1993 world-wide. General location and record count for the files are: sfc1 60N-90N, 180W-180E 2757 records (January 1900 - 8/4/1986) sfc2 30N-60N, 180W-100W 164,406 records (9/16/1896 - 11/14/1988) sfc3 30N-60N, 100W-30W 147,346 records (4/5/1899 - 4/30/1987) Jan-Apr sfc4 30N-60N, 100W-30W 104,474 records (5/2/1899 - 6/27/1987) May-June sfc5 30N-60N, 100W-30W 151,398 records (July 1900 - 8/30/1987) Jul-Aug sfc6 30N-60N, 100W-30W 177,475 records (Sept 1900 - 10/23/1987) Sep-Dec sfc7 30N-60N, 30W-100E 149,500 records (Jan 1900 - 4/29/1987) Jan-April sfc8 30N-60N, 30W-100E 187,566 records (7/2/1899 - 8/28/1987) May-Aug.

Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Ocean Drifter (F156) format. The F156 data type contains time series ocean circulation data determined by tracking the movement of drifting buoys, drogues or other instrumented devices. Movement is reported as point-to-point geographic locations determined by shore-based, surface ship, aircraft or satellite observations. Data from both ocean currents and sea ice movement can be reported in this format over time periods ranging from minutes to months. Directions and speeds between individual observations may be computed from these data and presented in graphic or summary listing form to provide information on circulation patterns and mass transport in offshore and nearshore regions.%BR%%BR%Platform name (for platform acquiring data or deploying device), drogue characteristics, start and end positions and times, and observation frequency (if constant time interval) are reported for each series of observations. The data record comprises position, date and time for each observation. Other surface meteorological or oceanographic parameters (e.g., water temperature and salinity, air temperature and pressure, wind, waves) and subsurface data (depth, pressure, temperature) may also be reported. Text records may be used to report general comments or to describe individual drogue observations.

The oceanographic data in this accession was collected by German Oceanographic data center from 60 cruises using 12 different ships. The data was collected between August 13, 1973 and December 11, 1990. The data was submitted by Dr. Friedrich Nast, Deutsches Ozeanographisches Datenzentrum, Hamburg, Germany.

Current and other data were collected from fixed platforms in the SW Atlantic (limit-20 W) from 16 February 1976 to 23 January 1977. Data were collected by Oregon State University (OSU) as part of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration / International Ocean Studies / First Dynamic Response and Kinematics Experiment in the Drake Passage (IDOE/ISOS/FDRAKE). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015 Current Meter Components format. The F015 format contains time series measurements of ocean currents. These data are obtained from current meter moorings and represent the 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 includes 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. 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.

The data in this accession was collected from drifting current meters deployed in pack ice in the Western Weddell Sea during winter of 1992 as part of ICE STATION WEDDELL-1 experiment. The current meter data at 25, 50, 200M was collected from 11 stations between February 21, 1992 and June 2, 1992. One diskette of data was submitted by Dr. Robin D. Muench of SAIC, Bellevue, Washington. The study was funded by NSF Grant # opp-9024828 and described by Ice Station Weddell Group in EOS VOL. 74, PP 121-126, 1993.
