Temperature and conductivity data from moored current meter casts in the North Pacific Ocean from 1978-10-18 to 1980-08-01 (NODC Accession 8200188)

Temperature and conductivity data were collected using moored current meter casts in the North Pacific Ocean from October 18, 1978 to August 1, 1980. Data were submitted by University Of Alaska - Fairbanks as part of the BORAX project. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Current Meter Data (F015) format. Full current meter moorings descriptions are available at http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f015.html. The F015 format is used for time series measurements of ocean currents. These data are obtained from current meter moorings and represent Eulerian method of current measurement, i.e., the meters are deployed at a fixed point and measure flow past a sensor. Position, bottom depth, sensor depth, and meter characteristics are reported for each station. The data record comprises values of east-west (u) and north-south (v) current vector components at specified date and time. Current direction is defined as the direction toward which the water is flowing with positive directions east and north and negative directions west and south. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at 10-15 minute time intervals. Water temperature, pressure, and conductivity or salinity may also be reported. A text record is available for optional comments.1978年10月18日至1980年8月1日期间，于北太平洋通过锚系海流计布放观测采集得到温度与电导率数据。该数据由阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校（University of Alaska Fairbanks）作为BORAX项目的组成部分提交。美国国家海洋数据中心（National Oceanographic Data Center, NODC）将数据处理为NODC标准锚系海流计数据（F015）格式。完整的锚系海流计观测说明可访问：http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f015.html。 F015格式专用于海流时间序列测量，数据均来自锚系海流计观测，采用欧拉型海流测量方法：即传感器被布设于固定点位，测量流经传感器的水流流速。每个测站均会记录站位坐标、海底水深、传感器布设深度及海流计的相关参数。数据记录包含指定日期与时刻下的东西向（u）与南北向（v）海流矢量分量。海流方向定义为水流的流向，其中正东、正北为正方向，正西、正南为负方向。原始数据可经过平均或滤波处理，通常以10至15分钟为时间间隔进行上报。此外，数据中还可附带记录水温、压强、电导率或盐度相关信息。可选的文本记录字段可用于添加附加注释。
