Current velocities and water temperatures in the Celtic Sea (1984)

An array of current meter and thermistor chain moorings was deployed near 51deg N, 7deg W in the Celtic Sea during June and July 1984. In addition a series of CTD sections was performed over the Nymphe Bank at intervals of three to four weeks. Three cruises were conducted to deploy, monitor and recover the rigs. Good quality data were collected from the four thermistor chains, and out of a total of 33 thermistors only 4 failed. Five out of six Aanderaa current meters and current meter loggers performed satisfactorily. Of the vector averaging current meters, only the Suber gave good data throughout, but one week of data was collected from one of the two VMCMs.

于1984年6月至7月期间，在凯尔特海51度北纬、7度西经附近部署了一组当前计和热敏电阻链系泊设备。此外，每隔三至四周，在尼姆菲亚银行上执行了一系列CTD剖面测量。进行了三次巡航，以部署、监控和回收这些设备。从四个热敏电阻链中收集到了高质量的数据，在总共33个热敏电阻中，仅有4个出现故障。六台Aanderaa电流计和电流计记录仪中有五台表现良好。在矢量平均电流计中，只有Suber在整个测量期间提供了良好的数据，但两个VMCM之一仅收集了一周的数据。
