Direct current measurements on the continen- 

 tal shelf showed a strong tidal influence and 

 some indication of an inertial current. The di- 

 rect measurements showed a transport in the 

 same general direction (northwestward) as the 

 geostrophic calculations, and when averaged 

 over the long term (14 days) the speed agreed 

 reasonably well with the geostrophic speed. The 

 speed was highly variable, however, and some 



individual direct observations were ten times 

 greater than the geostrophic speed. 



When STD data from the analog traces were 

 compared with those from a Digital Data Log- 

 fier, significant diff"erences were found. These 

 resulted, in part, from depth errors on the ana- 

 log traces. The analog trace should be started 

 at the actual depth of the underwater sensor 

 rather than at zero.
