Current meter data from moored current meter casts in the Coastal Waters of Florida as part of the Florida Straits Physical Oceanography (FSPO) project from 1990-11-23 to 1991-08-19 (NCEI Accession 9200237)

Current meter data were collected using moored current meter casts in the Coastal Waters of Florida from November 23, 1990 to August 19, 1991. Data were submitted by Science Applications, Inc. - Raleigh NC as part of the Florida Straits Physical Oceanography (FSPO) project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (F015) format.

The F015 format is used for time series measurements of ocean currents. These data are obtained from current meter moorings and represent 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 comprises 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 and negative directions west and south. 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.
