This data set contains current speed and direction from short term moorings in the Ross Sea with current meter placed at 25 m. One hour averages reported.

This dataset contains current speed and direction from a short term mooring in the Ross Sea with current meter placed at 25 m. Five minute averages reported.

Current direction data were collected using moored current meter casts in the North Atlantic Ocean from July 9, 1975 to November 1, 1976. 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. A text field is available for optional comments.

Current meter - direction and other data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS from 10 May 1976 to 19 June 1976. Data were collected by the National Ocean Service (NOS) and were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F005 - Current Meter Data (Resultants) 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.

Current meter - direction and other data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS. Data were collected by the National Ocean Service (NOS) from 27 June 1972 to 10 October 1972.

Current and hydrophysical data were collected from Geological Survey current meters deployed in New England coastal waters (Gulf of Maine, Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts Bay, Boston Harbor, Buzzards Bay, N.E. Continental Shelf) Data were collected from 08 May 1975 to 11 February 1992. Current meter data include U and V velocities in cm/s, rotor speeds in cm/s, current directions in degrees, and water temperatures.

This dataset includes current speed and direction measurements from fixed level taut line moorings in the Gulf of Mexico from February 8, 1974, to March 8, 1974. The data were submitted by Dr. C.N.K. Mooers of University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS), Department of Physical Oceanography. These data were collected as part of the Continental Shelf Dynamics Program, NSF #GA - 34009.

SCUDS (Surface CUrrent Data Summary) Data from Robert Rushton collected between 1894 and 1993 was submitted by Richard Enkoji of NAVOCEANO (US Naval Oceanographic Office, Bay St. Louis, MS) via File Transfer Protocol. Data are contained in 35 files; a READ.ME and a format file are also included. Each record contains: latitude (+ N, - S), longitude (+ E, - W), month, year, day, speed in knots, direction in degrees true, and a source code identifying the principal investigator (US, Dutch, Japanese, British, French, and/or GEK data). 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.

Current meter components data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS from the North American Coastline-South from 01 February 1979 to 10 October 1979. Data were collected by the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). 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.
