Current curve
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004809
A graphical representation showing the variation of current speed or direction over time at a specific location. This curve can illustrate tidal cycles, diurnal variations, or longer-term fluctuations in ocean or atmospheric currents. It is typically derived from continuous measurements by a current meter deployed at a fixed point.
