Current meter records from the Gulf of Tehuantepec

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.

The data were recorded with upward-looking ADCPs. Three bins from each of three instruments are included here. The remainder of the ADCP bins have been lost, together with the data from three Aanderaa current meters that were positioned below the ADCPs. Further, the data from three additional moorings that carried only Aanderaa current meters has been lost. Thus this is just a fragment of the original Tehuantepec dataset. All of the data provided here have a time increment of 5 minutes.
