Southern California Bight Current Meters

                              Basin Deployment



Each of the links below are for a specific current meter deployment. The
data is available as text files for transfer to users. For each deployment,
you may download specific meters. Data include speed, direction, u
component of velocity, v component of velocity, and temperature. Some
instruments also include conductivity as indicated by a C in the variable
(Variable) column. S indicates speed, rather than the usual u and v;this
results from bad compass data.

Units used are:

speed, u component, v component: cm sec-1
direction: degrees true north
temperature: ° C
conductivity: mmhos cm-1
