Description

Current meter - direction and other data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS from 27 October 1975 to 14 August 1976. Data were collected by the National Ocean Service (NOS) in support of the MESA New York Bight (MESA-NYB) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F005 - Current Meter Data (Resultants) format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f005.html. 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.
