Instrument Types

NWCM - Niskin Wing Current Meters

1 - MKI - speed, direction, temperature

2 - MKII - [in non-averaging mode] - speed, direction, temperature

3- MKII - [in vector averaging mode] - speed, direction, temperature, conductivity

NTG - Niskin Tide Gauge

Niskin Wing Current Meter Configuration

NWCM MK II ---- Instrument serial numbers greater than 300

Parameters: Vector averaged velocity components, water temperature, conductivity

Sampling configuration: Vector averaging mode with switch settings:

20 minute sample interval

16 readings/burst

2 sec burst interval

Measurement = one sample taken every 20 minutes, vector averaged over 32 seconds

NWCM MK I ----- Instrument serial numbers less than 300

Parameters: Current speed, current direction, water temperature

Sampling configuration: Non-averaging mode with switch settings:

60 minute sample interval

4 readings/burst

2.6 second burst interval

Measurement = Four samples once every hour recorded over a period of 10.4 seconds
