Summaries are presented of current, pressure and temperature measurements from clusters A and B of the POLYMODE III experiment. These clusters had five moorings apiece and were deployed for 11.5 months. With a few exceptions, current meters were set at nominal depths of 200, 1500 and 4000 m and temperature/pressure recorders at 400 and 2800 m on each mooring. A site mooring was deployed at both cluster locations for an additional 17 months. Displays include time series, histograms, progressive vector diagrams, scatter plots, spectra, and statistics.
