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 current meter record 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 Ridge current meter records, which are listed in the table below, were obtained with Aanderaa RCM5 current meters. You can download the current records individually in both the stranger and netCDF formats. The thermistor chain data are available only in stranger format and have been placed together in a single zip archive.

Mooring BT carried 5 thermistor chains, each 100 meters long. Data from the chains have been placed in a single zip archive. The 5 files in the archive have names of the form xxx.yyy.tc, where xxx is the depth in meters of the upper end of the chain and yyy is the depth in meters of the lower end. These files have the OSU stranger format. Click here to download the archive.
