Description

Results from current meters: Aanderaa, Geodyne and Sensordata used in various sites depending on several projects within the oceanograhic section at SMH during 1968-1998.

NOTE: This dataset does not meet SND's nominal standards for data reusability.

Datasets are periods of use in the field with given idnames. There is a possibility to search individual datasets via an access database where the search elements are pinfo/sinfo primary/secondary info. Pinfo is similar to measurements of current, temperature and water samples all described in an pdf. Sinfo is dependant on the type of measurement giving depth and variables.

Different datasets from autonomic instruments where quality is due to how well the timestep could be found in classes 0 - 4

Description

Data contains a large amount of unstructured information in different zips and file formats, which are difficult understand without in depth knowledge of the research area. The data is therefore provided 'as is' for anyone who is interested.
