Description:In order to describe the characteristics of the circulation in two major basins of Puget Sound, Washington, we are undertaking a synthesis of historical current measurements. As a first step towards our goal we have collected nearly all the current observations taken throughout the Sound. This report indexes 48.8 recorded years of Eulerian current observations generally one day or longer taken at nearly 300 sites from 1908-1980. The three major organizations taking measurements during this period were the National Ocean Survey, the University of Washington, and the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. Fourteen different types of equipment were used to take the measurements; each is described herein. Approximately two-thirds of the data were taken in Puget Sound's Main Basin and its seaward sill zone - Admiralty Inlet; the remaining one-third is divided equally among the Sound's three other major basins. Maps showing the locations of the observations and tables listing pertinent information on each are provided.
