Description | |
Summary | The marine current data were collected in the framework of an environmental study of the current field on the sea bottom, near a pipeline, North of the Strait. The moorings were deployed with 1 current meter at 5 m from the bottom in the 1st part, and with 3 current meters (30m depth, 3m and 5m from the bottom) in the 2nd part. The time series were recorded at sampling interval of 5 minutes. The data are fully quality controlled for gaps, spikes and spurious data. The raw data are averaged over 1 hour time interval and analyzed to produce spectral analysis, tidal component and residual. The data sets are stored as a raw time series for each current meter (1 data cycle of temperature, speed and direction every 5 minutes). The complete data set consists of 350 current meter days in the 1st part and 1260 current meter days in the 2nd part. |
