Eastward and northward components of ocean current velocity collected from moorings in North East Pacific Coast from 1967-09-01 to 1969-10-16 (NCEI Accession 0163399)

The University of Washington recovered 8 current meters, B,C,N,O,S,V,Z,AA deployed on the continental shelf off the Washington coast. Current meters used were Braincon (BR) instruments measuring speed and direction. Data was sampled in 20 minute intervals, then edited for spurious values. Smoothing was done on the components of the velocity vector, using a 9 point binomial filter. Data file format is plain text.
