This dataset comprises the current meter data collected from Devonport (Tasmania) during March-July 1992, as part of a study of ocean currents in Bass Strait in relation to potential effluent dispersal. There are 3 moorings with 3 current meters represented in this dataset. Parameters typically recorded in current meter data comprise east-west and north-south velocity components, water temperature, pressure, and salinity at a nominal depth for each current meter. The data have been processed and are archived as part of the holdings of the CMR Data Centre in Hobart.
