Ocean Current data

This file contains current data by using ship drift ,GEK,ADCP and ARGOS drifting buoy.
ARGOS position was calculated by interpolation position from two data.
Temperature and Salinity are measurements of the sea surface water got by IT or BE in parallel with the sea current observation.
It has been able to download data in ODV spreadsheet and NetCDF, besides JODC standard format (FETI format), since September 2003.
