Eastward and northward components of ocean current and water temperature collected from moorings in North East Pacific Coast from 1973-01-05 to 1974-02-23 (NCEI Accession 0163985)

The University of Washington maintained moorings off the coast of Washington as part of the Continental Shelf Experiment 1973-74. Moorings were kept out for longer time periods during the winter and summer and an attempt was made to maintain moorings at both an Inshore and an Offshore site. Speed and direction were measured and rotated to true North, then resolved into u and v components. Most of the current meters were Aanderaa meters but Braincon meters were used on the Westport mooring (WP). The Aanderaa meters had temperature sensors. Data was sampled in 10 or 20 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1973-1974年大陆架实验（Continental Shelf Experiment）的组成部分，在华盛顿州近海水域布设了锚系观测装置。实验在冬、夏两季延长了锚系装置的布放时长，并尝试在近岸（Inshore）与远岸（Offshore）两个站位均维持锚系观测。观测获取了流速与流向数据，经旋转校正至正北方向后，被分解为u、v分量。绝大多数海流计为安德拉（Aanderaa）海流计，但西港（Westport）锚系站位（WP）使用了Braincon海流计，其中安德拉海流计搭载了温度传感器。数据以10分钟或20分钟为采样间隔进行采集，并对异常值（spurious values）进行了筛选剔除。如需获取该数据集的完整说明，可参考文献：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结果》，收录于华盛顿大学海洋学系专项报告第65号（Special Report 65）。本数据集的文件格式为纯文本（plain text）。
