Meteorological Station (6mn Average)

Wind Speed is measured in knots (see below for conversion). Wind direction is measured in degrees from North Counterclockwise (CCW).

For example, a value of 90 degrees means that the wind is coming from the West and will be displayed as shown on the example plot.

Wind Gust reflects the speed reached during a sudden and brief increase in the strength of the wind over the 6 minutes average.

Current Profile (1mn Average)

Directional current is measured using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). The same way the wind direction is shown, the current direction is measured in degrees from North CCW.

Current velocity/Direction is shown in the table for shipping purpose (knots).

North - South / East - West Current are also displayed, this time in m/s. Depth unit (displays represents a daily display) is meter.
