The current records listed below have been filtered and subsampled at one value per day. The tides and higher frequencies have been removed. CMDAC was not able to obtain the unfiltered data. The current meters described as "unknown" below were Aanderaas and Mors current meters. CMDAC has no information as to which was which.

Format of the current records

These files have been compressed with the ZIP compression utility. After downloading them, you will need to expand them. WinZip or Pkzip will do the job on a PC that is running Microsoft Windows. Under Linux, gunzip will expand these files. Other utilities are available for the UNIX and Macintosh environments (for example, unzip and/or gunzip are present on most UNIX systems). After expansion, you will have binary files in the netCDF format.
