A Nobska MAVS3 3 axis and an Aanderaa RCM-9 2 axis current meter were deployed for comparison just below the Jordan Basin mooring buoy in the Gulf of Maine. In addition to providing surface current information needed by the Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System (GOMOOS), the comparison is valuable for evaluation of the RCM-9. The RCM-9 current meter measures the Doppler frequency shift remote from the flow disturbance of the mooring and buoy. However, it requires sufficient scatterers to provide returns for processing, and uses only the
