The array we have included here as PCM6 was not officially a part of WOCE. We have included these current records because of their mostly excellent quality and because the array was part of the KERE project (the Kuroshio Extension Regional Experiment). As such, these data contribute to WOCE goals. A different component of KERE can be found on this disk as PCM7.
This component of KERE produced 20 current meter records from 9 moorings. You can view metadata and download individual records by clicking on links in the table below, where each record is identified by its depth and the name of the mooring. If you do download any of the current meter records you should review the note on file format. We have included here a map of the array that shows where the moorings were, and a reference that describes some results. You can also move up one level to the list of WOCE experiments.

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.
netCDF is a self-documenting format that can be accessed by a variety
of software tools. You can click here
to learn about netCDF and available software packages that can be used
to read and manipulate netCDF files.
