These data are obtained from current meter moorings and represent the 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 includes 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. 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. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0066358 Preview graphic PNG 0066358 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 1999-12-31 publication CONDUCTIVITY CURRENT METER - EAST-WEST COMPONENT (U) CURRENT METER - NORTH-SOUTH COMPONENT (V) HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE SALINITY WATER TEMPERATURE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS current meter instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS current measurements physical time series theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS FIXED PLATFORM OF BRAZIL platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS US National Oceanographic Data Center dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Beaufort Sea Bering Sea Caribbean Sea Chukchi Sea Coastal Waters of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia East China Sea (Tung Hai) Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Great Australian Bight Greenland Sea (including Iceland Sea and North Greenland Sea) Gulf of Alaska Gulf of California Gulf of Guinea Gulf of Mexico Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Indian Ocean Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary North Atlantic Ocean North Pacific Ocean Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument Philippine Sea South Atlantic Ocean South Pacific Ocean Strait of Gibraltar Yellow Sea (Hwang Hai) place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 23 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
