An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of seawater generated by forces acting upon this mean flow, such as breaking waves, wind, the Coriolis effect, cabbeling, and temperature and salinity differences, while tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon. Depth contours, shoreline configurations, and interactions with other currents influence a current's direction and strength. Ocean currents flow for great distances, and together, create the global conveyor belt which plays a dominant role in determining the climate of many of the Earths regions. More specifically, ocean currents influence the temperature of the regions through which they travel. General near surface ocean current data was provided by Petroleum Affairs Division. Data was created as part of the Irish Offshore Strategic Environmental Assessment (IOSEA).

In oceanography, a front is a boundary between two distinct water masses. The water masses are defined by moving in different directions, i.e. on one side of the front the water is generally moving in one way, and on the other side of the front, the water is moving in another. Depending on the directions of the water masses, a front may be defined as convergent or divergent. The water masses on either side of a front may also have different temperatures, salinities, or densities, along with differences in other oceanographic markers. Ocean front data was provided by Petroleum Affairs Division and data was created as part of the Irish Offshore Strategic Environmental Assessment (IOSEA).

Low water mass movement of ocean currents from the Irish Offshore Strategic Environmental Assessment (IOSEA 5) publication. Large masses of moving water are called currents. In the oceans there are major surface currents, subsurface currents, and tidal currents. This data is a representation of the mass movement of water in areas of depth >2000m along the Rockall Trough known as the North Atlantic Deepwater and Labrador Sea Water.

Upper water mass movement of ocean currents from the Irish Offshore Strategic Environmental Assessment (IOSEA 5). Large masses of moving water are called currents. In the oceans there are major surface currents, subsurface currents, and tidal currents. This data represents an analysis of the mass movement of water in the upper sections of the water column. Currents in the upper water column are known as the North Atlantic Current and Shelf edge current.

Sea surface temperature is collected via permanent scientific equipment on board the MI research vessel RV Celtic Explorer. Data includes temperature from the hull mounted sensor known as 'Hull Sea Temperature' and temperature/salinity from the Thermosalinograph SBE21 SBE38 temperature sensor known as 'Underway Sea Temperature'. Data collection from the instrumentation is on a sub-minute scale and for observation purposes a 3 hour bin rate has been created for viewing purposes.

CTD or Conductivity Temperature Depth stations measure the sea temperature and salinity of the marine water column water column at various depths from the surface to within 10m of the bottom of the water column. A CTD is the oceanography instrument used to determine the conductivity, temperature, and depth of the ocean. The CTD may be incorporated into an array of Niskin bottles referred to as a carousel or rosette. The sampling bottles close at predefined depths, triggered either manually or by a computer, and the water samples may subsequently be analysed further for biological and chemical parameters.
