The RCM9 is placed on the sea floor to measure water current and temperature in the vicinity of the sensor. Contact Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED), NOAA Pacific Island Fisheries Service Center for additional details and/or datasets. For program information see the web site http://www.pifsc.noaa.gov/cred/oceanography.php These data were collected for coral reef ecosystem research. They are collected concurrently with ecological/biological reef assessments. The raw data file (.dsu) is in a proprietary format of the manufaturer. The data is processed based on the calibration co-efficients and instrument setup parameter. The processed dataset (.TXT) is in the following columnar ASCII format: Record number, Date/Time (UTC), Reference value (not used), current speed (cm/s), current direction (degrees magnetic), temperature (Celcius).
