Current meter records from the Gulf of Tehuantepec

The accession numbers shown below refer to the OSU Buoy Group's online database, where each file is identified by a number. In the database and also on this disk, each file has a name that encodes its accession number. Thus the ASCII (stranger format) version of the file whose accession number is 1234 can be found on this disk as rcm01234.zip, and the netCDF version is stored here as rcm01234.cdf.

The data were recorded with upward-looking ADCPs. Three bins from each of three instruments are included here. The remainder of the ADCP bins have been lost, together with the data from three Aanderaa current meters that were positioned below the ADCPs. Further, the data from three additional moorings that carried only Aanderaa current meters has been lost.
