Current meter components data from FIXED PLATFORMS in support of the Pacific Equatorial Ocean Dynamics (PEQUOD) project from 1981-01-17 to 1983-03-01 (NCEI Accession 8500151)

Description

Current meter components and other data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS from 17 January 1981 to 01 March 1983. Data were collected by Oregon State University (OSU) in support of the Pacific Equatorial Ocean Dynamics (PEQUOD) project. 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.
