Current meter - direction and other data from FIXED PLATFORMS from the North East Greenland Sea in support of the Northeast Water Polyna Study from 1992-07-18 to 1993-07-27 (NCEI Accession 9500078)

Data were collected by the University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science (UAK/IMS) in support of the Northeast Water Polyna Study under National Science Foundation grant #OPP9113887. 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.
