Summary

Abstract: The NANSEN project was conceived by the ICES Oceanic Hydrography
Working Group, and arose from discussions centred around the
oceanography of the SE of Iceland and of the Faroese channels. NANSEN
was not a closely coordinated single survey, but rather provided
a framework through which work in these areas could be encouraged.
BODC has responsibility for assembling the current meter data from the
project.

The current meter data set comprises 86 current meter series from 29
moorings deployed between 1986 and 1988. These have been collected by
6 laboratories in 4 countries (Faroes, Germany, Norway and the UK). A
further 50 current meter series have been collected, but have not yet
been acquired by BODC. Most of the data lie within 200 nmiles of the
Faroes.

The data are subjected to the usual BODC quality control
procedures for current meter series.

The hydrographic data set collected during the NANSEN experiment has
been compiled by the ICES Secretariat.
