Eastward and northward components of ocean current velocity and water temperature collected from moorings in North East Pacific Coast from 1971-02-03 to 1971-11-15 (NCEI Accession 0163565)

The University of Washington maintained an Inshore and Offshore mooring off the coast of Washington as part of the Continental Shelf Experiment 1971. Most of the current meters used were Braincon type 381 (14), but 5 Aanderaa model RCM-4s were introduced on the October moorings. Speed and direction were measured and rotated to true North, then resolved into u and v components. The Aanderaa meters had temperature sensors. Data was sampled in 10 minute intervals and edited for spurious values. A more complete description of the data can be found in: Smith, Hickey, Beck, 1976, Observations from moored current meters on the Washington Continental Shelf from February 1971 to February 1974, University of Washington, Department of Oceanography, Special Report 65. Data file format is plain text.

华盛顿大学（University of Washington）作为1971年大陆架实验（Continental Shelf Experiment 1971）的组成部分，在华盛顿州近岸及离岸海域布设了锚系观测站。本次观测所用的海流计以Braincon 381型为主（共14台），另有5台Aanderaa RCM-4型海流计于10月部署至锚系站点。观测内容涵盖海流流速与流向的测量，数据经旋转订正至真北方向后，被分解为u、v两个分量。Aanderaa型海流计搭载有温度传感器。数据以10分钟为采样间隔进行采集，并对异常值进行了编辑处理。有关该数据集的更详细说明可参阅以下文献：Smith、Hickey与Beck于1976年发表的《1971年2月至1974年2月华盛顿大陆架锚系海流计观测报告》，收录于华盛顿大学海洋学系Special Report 65。本数据集的文件格式为纯文本。
