Current direction, temperature, and salinity data from moored current meter casts in the Gulf of Mexico during the Brine Disposal project, 1982-02-17 to 1984-08-08 (NCEI Accession 8500099)

Data were submitted by Texas A&M University as part of the Brine Disposal project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (F005) format.

Full current meter moorings descriptions are available at 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.
