Abstract
This report presents current and wind data from the second of
three surface mooring deployments in the Atlantic North Equatorial
Countercurrent near 6°N and 28°W. A Vector Averaging Wind Recorder
(VAWR) measured wind velocity, sea surface temperature, air temperature,
barometric pressure and solar insolation. Four Vector
Measuring Current Meters (VMCM) measured current velocity and temperature
at depths of 20, 50, 75 and 150 m. The mooring was deployed
on September 12,1983 and recovered (and replaced) on March 24,1984.
