The accompanying datafiles contain current data obtained from an array of drifting current meter moorings which were deployed from the pack ice in the western Weddell Sea during the winter 1992 Ice Station Weddell-1 experiment, which was described by the Ice Station Weddell Group in Eos [vol. 74, pp 121-126, 1993]. The files are structured as follows. Each separate file contains the dataset from a different current meter in nine columns as follows: Column Contents 1 Time data were recorded, as decimal Julian Day 2 Decimal latitude at time of recording (negative is south) 3 Decimal longitude at time of recording (negative is west) 4 Unfiltered N-S current speed in cm/s (positive northward) 5 Unfiltered E-W current speed in cm/s (positive eastward) 6 40-hour filtered N-S current speed in cm/s (positive northward) 7 40-hour filtered E-W current speed in cm/s (positive eastward) 8 Unfiltered water temperature 9 40-hour filtered water temperature The filenames reflect the general geographical locations and depth of the measurements, as follows: Dimt50.asc First half, 50-m currents at easternmost site Dimitri Dimt200.asc First half, 200-m currents at easternmost site Dimitri (no second half data obtained at site Dimitri) ISW25_1.asc First half, 25-m currents at manned ice camp ISW ISW25_2.asc Second half, 25-m currents at manned ice camp ISW ISW50.asc 50-m currents at manned ice camp ISW ISW200.asc 200-m currents at manned ice camp ISW Chr50_1.asc First half, 50-m currents at western site Chris Chr50_2.asc Second half, 50-m currents at western site Chris Chr200.asc Second half, 200-m currents at western site Chris (no first half 200-m data obtained at site Chris) Ed50_1.asc First half, 50-m currents at westernmost site Ed Ed50_2.asc Second half, 50-m currents at westernmost site Ed The current data reported in these files were obtained using instruments which drifted northward along with the pack ice, and therefore documented the relative ice-water motion. Correction for the ice motion was necessary to obtain the true currents which are reported here, and was done as follows. The geographical positions of the drifting current arrays, obtained using Argos buoys, were used to compute drift velocities, which were in turn smoothed with the complex demodulation routine reported by McPhee [ASME J. Offshore Mech. Arctic Eng., vol. 110, pp. 94-100, 1988]. This routine is intended to minimize those errors resulting from the position estimates (about 100 m per fix) by assuming that the ice moves in response only to winds and to tidal and inertial currents. The measured current velocities were corrected to absolute currents by subtracting the derived ice velocities. The measured current data, uncorrected for drift, is assumed to have the manufacturer's specified instrumental accuracy of 1 cm/s. Given that we obtained about 20 location fixes per day, and the largest position error following application of McPhee's filter is about 100 m, the worst-case drift speed error would be about 2.5 cm/s. In the worst case, the instrumental and drift speed errors would be additive and would lead to an error in true current speed of about 3.5 cm/s. We have no reason to suspect that the position errors were maximal, nor any reason to suspect that they were other than random. An additional check on the current measurements was done by running sequential, overlapping 15-day tidal analyses on each record using the record of Foreman [Pacific Mar. Sci. Centre Rept. 78-6, 1978]. These analyses supplied sequential values of the four major tidal constituent amplitudes and phases which were sufficiently statistically significant., based on error estimates output along with the amplitude and phase information, to verify the time bases and provide an additional rough check on the recorded current speeds. These tidal analyses verified that, while the measurement sites drifted northward, variations in the tidal parameters were small and regular, so that regional changes in these parameters did not significantly inhibit their use as a time base check. The sequential tidal analyses used to validate the current data showed amplitudes for individual constituents varying by well under 1 cm/s between the sequential datasets used for the computations. The raw earth-coordinate data were filtered using a two-way Butterworth filter with an approximately 40-hour cutoff to remove tidal and inertial currents. The same filter was applied to the temperature data recorded at each instrument. The results are presented in the "40-hour filtered" columns fo the datafiles. These current data were used in preparing the manuscript entitled "Circulation and transport of water along the western Weddell Sea margin" by R.D. Muench and A.L. Gordon [J. Geophys. Res., accepted for 1995 publication]. They were obtained by R.D. Muench with support from the National Science Foundation under grant #OPP-9024828 to Science Applications International Corporation.
