Title of datasetArray of Ocean Bottom Tilt Current Meters: data from the EMSO-Azores observatory, 2016-2017
Narrative summary of datasetThis dataset contains current data acquired between September 2016 and July 2017 using 2 TCM3 Ocean Bottom Tilt Current Meters installed next to the Tour Eiffel and Montségur hydrothermal vent sites. The TCM-3 Ocean Bottom Tilt Current Meter from Lowell Instruments LLC (North Falmouth, MA, USA) measures current using the drag-tilt principle. The logger is buoyant and is anchored to the bottom via a short flexible tether. Drag from moving water tilts the logger in the direction of flow. The logger’s accelerometer and magnetometer channels are used to record the amount of tilt and direction of tilt (compass bearing). The array comprised 3 currentmeters, deployed near the Tour Eiffel, Montségur and White Castle hydrothermal vent sites (the instrument at White Castle did not recover data). The array is not connected to an energy node. The currentmeter's internal clocks are set to UTC time before deployment. Clock drift after recovery is not implemented in data but added as metadata in the file "Sites and Sensor metadata". Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.
