Current meter records from the Continental Shelf Project
(1967 - 1968)

The accession numbers shown below refer to the OSU Buoy Group's archive, where each file is identified by a number. Every file has a name that encodes its accession number. Thus the ASCII (stranger format) version of the current meter record whose accession number is 1234 can be found here as acc01234.str.gz, and the netCDF version is stored as acc01234.cdf.

Current speed and direction were recorded by Braincon current meters. Water temperature was recorded by Braincon thermographs.

Accession 8024, the geostrophic wind, was computed from pressure gradients at 45N, 125W. Accession 8025 is an observed wind measured at the Coast Guard observation tower on the north side of the entrance to Yaquina Bay at Newport, Oregon.
