SES DATA REPORT

Standard View Options

The measurement phase of the Shelf Edge Study (SES) began in March 1995 and continued until August 1996. Moorings were deployed along a southern line and a northern line in an area to the west of Scotland (see the SES map for details).

This data report describes the results from current meters (Interocean S4's, Aanderaa RCM's, RD Instruments Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers), thermistor chains, thermistor probes transmissometers, bottom pressure recorders and meteorological buoys. Data return was better than expected.

An overview of the SES project is available. This is taken from the POL SRP 2 web page where further, related information is available.

Data from SES is available from Roy Lowry at BODC. Data plots may be viewed through Netscape or downloaded in postscript format from the rig pages.

When viewing or downloading data plots the following buttons are used:

: Velocity component time series plot.
: Scatter & vector plot.
: Speed & direction plot.
: Parameter time series plot.

Postscript plots may also be obtained via anonymous ftp from biwebs.nbi.ac.uk. The files are placed under pub/sesw3/ps , in directories named according to the site where the rig was situated (e.g. pub/sesw3/ps/s140 for all rigs in the s140 site). A readme file contains relevant or new information
