| Description | |
| Summary | The moorings were deployed with 1, 2 or 3 current meters. The time series were recorded at sampling interval of 5 or 10 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 or 10 minutes) The complete data set consists of 330 current meter days. |
