A moving vessel has carried out measurements every minute for a few hours to illustrate the currents through a straight. The measured transect data file is shown in Figure 6.3.
The sailing path and corresponding measurements are illustrated in Figure 6.4 using a dfs2 bathymetry file as background to specify the domain.
