A - Current Speed and Direction vs. Depth
The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) made observations using current meter moorings as part of a large climate research study. In the following section you will be using data from WOCE site ACM7 off the coast of Brazil, which you can see on this map of allthe mooring sites. Questions 1-5 ask you to fill in the chart with the following information:
- Depth of Current Meter
- Sea Floor Depth
- Average Current Speed
- Average Degrees of Current
- Average Compass Direction of Current (N,S,E,W)
- Latitude and Longitude
