The data in this accession was collected from drifting current meters deployed in pack ice in the Western Weddell Sea during winter of 1992 as part of ICE STATION WEDDELL-1 experiment. The current meter data at 25, 50, 200M was collected from 11 stations between February 21, 1992 and June 2, 1992. One diskette of data was submitted by Dr. Robin D. Muench of SAIC, Bellevue, Washington. The study was funded by NSF Grant # opp-9024828 and described by Ice Station Weddell Group in EOS VOL. 74, PP 121-126, 1993.
