Current meter components and other data from FIXED PLATFORMS in support of the Santa Barbara Channel project from 1983-04-08 to 1983-08-01 (NODC Accession 8400012)

Current meter components data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS from 22 February 1992 to 18 February 1993. Data were collected by Science Application, Inc. (SAI) in support of the Santa Barbara Channel project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015 Current Meter Components format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f015.html. The F015 format contains time series measurements of ocean currents. These data are obtained from current meter moorings and represent the Eulerian method of current measurement, i.e., the meters are deployed at a fixed point and measure flow past a sensor. Position, bottom depth, sensor depth and meter characteristics are reported for each station. The data record includes values of east-west (u) and north-south (v) current vector components at specified date and time. Current direction is defined as the direction toward which the water is flowing with positive directions east and north. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at 10 - 15 minute time intervals. Water temperature, pressure and conductivity or salinity may also be reported. A text record is available for optional comments.本数据集为海流计组件数据，采集时段为1992年2月22日至1993年2月18日，数据来源为固定平台。数据由科学应用公司（Science Application, Inc.，简称SAI）为圣巴巴拉海峡项目采集。数据经美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center，简称NODC）处理，采用NODC标准F015海流计组件格式。完整格式说明可通过NODC官方网址www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f015.html获取。 F015格式存储海洋环流的时间序列测量数据，数据源自海流计锚系观测，采用欧拉式海流测量方法——即海流计部署于固定点位，监测流经传感器的水流。每个测站均记录其位置、海底水深、传感器布设深度及海流计参数。数据记录包含指定日期与时刻下的东-西向（u）和北-南向（v）海流矢量分量值。海流方向定义为水流流向，以东向与北向为正方向。数据值可经过平均或滤波处理，通常以10至15分钟为时间间隔进行记录。数据中还可包含海水温度、压强、电导率或盐度等辅助参数，同时附带可供填写的文本注释记录。
