This dataset comprises the current meter data collected from the Southern Ocean during September 1997-January 1999, as part of the SAZ (sub-Antarctic Zone) project of the Antarctic Cooperative Research Centre (Antarctic CRC). There are 4 moorings with 10 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.
