Currents and other physical parameters collected from moored current meters and various ADCPs offshore the United Kingdom, as part of British Oceanographic Data Center's (BODC) current meter series, from 21 June 1967 to 29 April 2007 (NCEI Accession 0067029)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: June 28, 2026 at 06:58 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 08, 2010 at 12:00 AM
The BODC current meter data set provides all currents data held in the BODC National Oceanographic Database (NODB). It includes entries for Moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP), other moored current meters, Shipborne ADCP, and Lowered ADCP. In this accession, the data are delivered to NODC as platform-independent binary files in QXF format (a BODC subset of NetCDF).
