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.

Near-surface ocean current sensors : problems and performance
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1979-12)When current meters are used to measure mean horizontal currents in surface gravity waves, immunity to the vertical component of flow is important, even though the net vertical flow averages to zero and is normal to the ... -
An electromagnetic method for measuring the velocities of ocean currents from a ship under way
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1950-03)During the past four years a deliberate effort has been made at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to devise methods of kinematic observation generally suited to the needs of oceanographers. One result of this work, ... -
Implementation of the vortex force formalism in the coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave-sediment transport (COAWST) modeling system for inner shelf and surf zone applications
(2012-01)The coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave-sediment transport modeling system (COAWST) enables simulations that integrate oceanic, atmospheric, wave and morphological processes in the coastal ocean. Within the modeling system, the ...
