Current and other data from meters attached to FIXED PLATFORMS in the coastal waters of Florida in support of the Subtropical Atlantic Climate Study 6 (STACS) from 1984-06-19 to 1987-03-27 (NODC Accession 8900060)

Current and other data from meters attached to FIXED PLATFORMS in the coastal waters of Florida. Data were collected by University of Miami; Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) in support of the Subtropical Atlantic Climate Study 6 (STACS) from 19 June 1984 to 27 March 1987. 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.

本数据集收录佛罗里达近岸固定平台附着式海流计及其他传感器的观测数据。数据由迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院（Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, RSMAS）采集，用于支撑1984年6月19日至1987年3月27日期间开展的亚热带大西洋气候研究6（Subtropical Atlantic Climate Study 6, STACS）项目。数据已由美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）按照其F015海流计组件标准格式完成标准化处理。完整格式说明可通过NODC官网https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f015.html 查询获取。

F015格式用于存储海洋环流的时间序列观测数据，此类数据源自海流计锚系测站，采用欧拉法（Eulerian method）开展海流测量：即传感器部署于固定点位，监测流经传感器的流体运动。每份测站记录均包含站位位置、海底水深、传感器布设深度以及海流计设备参数等信息。数据记录涵盖指定日期与时刻下的东西向（u）与南北向（v）海流矢量分量数值。海流方向定义为水流流向，正东与正北为正方向。数据值通常经过平均或滤波处理，典型采样时间间隔为10至15分钟。数据集还可同步收录水温、压强、电导率或盐度等辅助观测数据。此外可提供文本记录用于添加可选备注信息。
