(SLIP) Current Meter, SeaCat and MicroCat CTDs, and Moored ADCP Data Sets.

Frank:

I've just placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, one .zip file, when opened, contains a

total of 18 data files. These include moored current meters, MicroCat and SeaCat CTD's,

and moored ADCP data (see below). Data sets result from the Univ. Of AK/IMS - St.

Lawrence Island Polynya Dense Water Experiment (SLIP) project, 1998-99. The data

sets were provided courtesy of Mr. Seth Danielson, data mgr., UofAK/IMS.

Moored Aanderaa cm's data sets contain pressure, temps., salinity, and currents U and V

components. MicroCat and SeaCat CTD's contain pressure, temps, and salinity data. Moored

ADCP's contain bin depth, U and V velocity data.

These are "coastal ocean" data sets.
