Eastward and northward components of ocean current and water temperature collected from moorings in the North East Pacific Coast from 1982-06-13 to 1982-06-23 (NCEI Accession 0164195)

The University of Washington maintained 6 current meter moorings, UPII-1, UPII-1 surface (UPII-1S), UPII-2, UPII-3, UPII-3 surface (UPII-3S), and UPII-5, from June 12, 1982 through June 23, 1982 off the Washington coast. Current meters were a mix of Aanderaa (AA) and Vector Measuring Current Meter (VMCM) instruments. The AA meters measured speed, direction and temperature with a sample interval of 10 minutes. Speed and direction were independently filtered with a 9 point binomial filter spanning approximately 1.5 hours then resolved into u and v components. The VMCM data was sampled in 4 minute intervals. The u, v, and temperature time series data were edited for spurious values. Both the AA and VMCM edited data (u, v components and temperature) were filtered with a half power point of approximately 2.5 hours and interpolated to even hours to produce the hourly data. Results from this project can be found in: Hickey, B.M. (1989) Patterns and Processes of Circulation Over the Washington Continental Shelf and Slope. In: Landry, M.R. and B.M.
