SCM2 (Southern Ocean, Greenwich meridian)

This experiment and its precursors produced

• 154 current meter records
• temperature, pressure and/or salinity records from 43 instruments
• temperature records from 5 thermistor chains

You can view metadata and download many of the time series by clicking on links in the tables below. Each data record is identified in the tables by its depth and the name of the mooring. If you download any of the records you should review the note on file format. We have included here a map that shows where the moorings were, and two references that describe some results. From here you can also move up one level to the list of WOCE experiments.

netCDF is a self-documenting format that can be accessed by a variety of software tools. We have included here a Matlab script that can be used to read netCDF current records in an environment that contains the Matlab/netCDF interface created by CSIRO. You can Click here to learn more about netCDF.

We are aware that users who are unfamiliar with netCDF or who lack software to deal with it, may find the netCDF format more a deterrent than an aid to effective use of the data. We have included in this CDROM set a second disk that is identical to this one, except that the current meter records have OSU's "Stranger" format. The Stranger format, like netCDF, is self-documenting but utilizes the ASCII code. It is easily readable by both humans and computers; you may find it preferable to netCDF.
