Current and other data from meters attached to FIXED PLATFORMS in the coastal waters of Florida.
Description
Data were collected by University of Miami; Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) in support of the Subtropical Atlantic Climate Study 6 (STACS) from 19 June 1984 to 27 March 1987. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015 Current Meter Components format.
Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f015.html 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.
