Current meter components data in support of the Port Valdez Environmental Studies project from 1977-04-27 to 1978-11-01 (NCEI Accession 8400221)
Current meter components data were collected from current meters from 22 February 1992 to 18 February 1993 in the Valdez Narrows. Data were collected by Joseph Colonell of the University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science (UAK/IMS) in support of the Port Valdez Environmental Studies 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.
