Moored current meter data from the Atlantic north equatorial countercurrent near 6°N 28°W (September, 1983-March, 1984) : vol. XXXVI

Abstract

This report presents current and wind data from the second of three surface mooring deployments in the Atlantic North Equatorial Countercurrent near 6°N and 28°W. A Vector Averaging Wind Recorder (VAWR) measured wind velocity, sea surface temperature, air temperature, barometric pressure and solar insolation. Four Vector Measuring Current Meters (VMCM) measured current velocity and temperature at depths of 20, 50, 75 and 150 m. The mooring was deployed on September 12,1983 and recovered (and replaced) on March 24,1984.
