Statement: Aanderaa RCM4 and RCM5 current meters, and by Aanderaa dataloggers. In wind records the three-character prefix is 'met' rather than 'rcm'. Meterological buoys measured wind speed, wind direction and air temperature at a height of about 2m and surface water temperature Data from moorings that were in place for at least 6 months in deep water and include meteorological data, pressure records and temperature records gathered by the Oregon State University (OSU) Buoy Group over a span of more than 35 years. In addition, included are a number of electronic (i.e., browser-formatted) data reports. This link relates specifically to the Atlantic Ocean: NW Africian Shelf.
