Full description
Data from moorings that were in place for at least 6 months in deep water and include meteorological data, pressure records and temperature records gathered by the Oregon State University (OSU) Buoy Group over a span of more than 35 years. In addition, included are a number of electronic (i.e., browser-formatted) data reports.This dataset relates to current meter records from the Indian Ocean current World Ocean Circulation Expirement component ICM3 file.
