Full description

This dataset contains current meter data from Prydz Bay, Antarctica. Current meters were deployed on 3 moorings around Prydz Bay between January 1984 and February 1985. Summary results and deployment details are in the documentation. Temperature and salinity were also recorded. Records are not continuous at each site over this time period. Each mooring contains three or four current meters, measuring water temperature, speed and direction, and for some meters conductivity. Moorings 1 and 2 consisted of four Aanderaa current meters with target meter deployment depths of 200m, 350m, 500 m and near bottom. Mooring 3 had three Aanderaa current meters, with depths of 200m, 350m and near bottom.

Statement: Six current meters of the eleven deployed were recovered with data intact. Mooring 2 was not recovered. Meter 7621 failed due to a fault in the tape drive. Data were read from Aanderaa tapes and processed to produce a calibrated data file. Further processing consisted of tidal height and spectral analyses. Calibrated files contain 5 lines of header information followed by the data in 14-column format. Scatter plots of U and V velocity, progressive-vector plots, temperature/time plots, stick plots, tidal current analyses, residual time series and power spectra have been produced from the data, and are presented in the report referenced above.
