Résumé du livre
The proliferation of undigested or partially digested current meter data in scattered data banks that has resulted from improved current meter technology is discussed. It is suggested that most user's needs could be met from a central archive of current data summaries, and that the central archive could serve users with more particular needs as a directory of available Canadian current data and their sources. It is recommended that current data summaries should consist of 1) header information. 2) frequency distribution of original data in velocity space. 3) table of ten pairs of tidal harmonic constants. 4) frequency distribution of non-tidal residues in velocity space.
