Summary
Abstract: This dataset contains current meter data from Prydz Bay, Antarctica. Four moorings each consisting of four current meters were deployed at various locations in Prydz Bay. Data was obtained between January 1985 and February 1986. Each of the four current meters per mooring measured time, water temperature, speed and direction every sixty minutes. Moorings 1 and 3 also each had one current meter ... View entire text

CURRENT METERS Ancillary Description
Quality Only eleven of the sixteen meters were recovered with data intact. Mooring 2 was unable to be retrieved. Current meter 7621 flooded, and all data were lost. Pressure sensors on current meters 6149 and 6150 were deployed too deep and didn't record any valid pressure data. In terms of coverage, the four moorings were located so as to provide good coverage of the area. Each of the four moorings ... View entire text
