DOI

Ocean current speed and direction were recorded at 5-minute intervals at a nominal depth of 100 m in McMurdo Sound at 77.7667 °S, 165.2000 °E by an Aanderaa Seaguard single-point current meter. The dates covered by the ocean current observations are from 3-11-2017 06:35:02 UTC to 20-11-2017 22:55:02 UTC. Current speed is provided in units of cm/s. Current direction is provided in degree relative to true north and is the direction the current is flowing towards.
