Title:
CRED Recording Current Meter (RCM); PRIA, KIN; Long: -162.35925, Lat: 06.38263 (WGS84); Sensor Depth: 7.60m; Data Range: 20020318-20040402.
Abstract:
Data from Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED), NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) Recording Current Meters (RCM) provide a time series of water current and temperature at coral reef sites. Time series data combining multiple deployments from a given site may be available. Please contact CRED with any questions. For program information see the web site https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/pacific-islands/ecosystems/coral-reefs-pacific
Supplemental_Information:
Platform Manufacturer: NA, Platform Model: NA, Platform Serial Number: NONE; Instrument Manufacturer: Aanderaa, Instrument Model: RCM-9, Instrument Serial Number: 414. The raw data file (.dsu) is in a proprietary format of the manufaturer. The data is processed based on the calibration co-efficients and instrument setup parameter. The processed dataset (.TXT) is in the following columnar ASCII format: Record number, Date/Time (UTC), Reference value (not used), current speed (cm/s), current direction (degrees magnetic), temperature (Celsius). Instrument Specifications: Doppler Current Sensor (DCS) with a range of 0 to 300 cm/s and accuracy of 0.15 cm/s with a nominal standard deviation of 0.45 cm/s..
