The instruments were clamped along the mooring wire and carried sensors for conductivity, temperature, and some also pressure (CTD). These data are included in this archive package, along with interpolated pressures for instruments without such sensors and derived salinity. Data have undergone post-calibration and quality control, and quality flags are included. The original data submission contains one data file per deployment. Data files are in NetCDF format. The primary purpose of these observations is to derive dynamic height from the temperature and salinity data, and thereby geostrophic currents.
