This dataset contains current measurements and physical data collected on GB EFlank Mooring during deployment East_Flank in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1998-01-01 to 1999-12-31. These data include conductivity, depth, salinity calculated from CTD primary sensors, sigma-t, velocity east, velocity north, water pressure, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD Sea-Bird SEACAT and Vector Measuring Current Meter. These data were collected by Dr Richard Limeburner of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank (GB)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-08-06.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Mooring data from the Eastern Flank Mooring (EF) deployed by R. Limeburner

Dataset Description:
Georges Bank Eastern Flank Mooring Arrays
1998-1999

Array Summary:
The Georges Bank moored instrument array (East Flank) was moored at ~41.7N and 66.1W in ~90m of water. The array consisted of a Toroid mooring (EFT) Nov 98 - Mar 99, an instrumented Guard mooring (EFG) Mar 99 - Aug 99, and a replacement Discus mooring (EFD) for the Toroid Mar 99 - August 99. The Toroid and Discus moorings were instrumented with temperature sensors at 10, 20, 45 meters; CTD units at 1, 15, 80 meters; and current meter units at 5 and 25 meters. The Guard mooring was instrumented with a temperature sensor at 1 meter.

DMO Notes:
1.. On mooring EFT (East Flank Toroid) yearday values are numbered consecutively from Nov 1998 to Mar 1999.
2.. At the present time, the values for u and v are not available.
3.. These data are served from the original Matlab binary files. But for performance reasons, a cached version of these data (in JGOFS/GLOBEC format) is used. Missing data are represented as either "nd" or as "NaN".
