Mooring (oceanography)
A
mooring
in
oceanography
is a collection of devices, connected to a wire and anchored on the sea floor. It is the
Eulerian
way
of measuring
ocean currents
, since a mooring is stationary at a fixed location. In contrast to that, the
Lagrangian
way
measures the motion of an
oceanographic
drifter
, see
Lagrangian drifter
.
