Four instrumented moorings were deployed in the near-shore region off Shinnecock, Long Island, in May 1977. Each mooring had four sensor packages at distributed depths recording velocity, conductivity, and temperature over hourly intervals. The information was radioed to Brookhaven National Laboratory. Three moorings performed satisfactorily. Buoy 1 data suffered frequent gaps due to weak transmissions. The average period of operation was 25 days. The data are shown here through statistics, real-time plots, progressive vector diagrams, and stick figures of daily mean currents.
