English term or phrase: depth-averaged ocean current speed
This study models the dispersion of drill cuttings over a range of hydrodynamic conditions at the proposed location:
1) the minimum, and 2) the maximum depth-averaged and monthly-averaged ocean current speeds.

vitesse moyenne du courant océanique en profondeur


Explanation:
Vitesse. Le courants de bord ouest-océaniques sont concentrés dans d'étroites bandes de 50 à 500 km de large et leur vitesse maximale en surface peut atteindre 1 mètre par seconde. À cette vitesse, il faut plus d'un mois pour dériver de 30° N. à 50° N.

Two drilling
sites within the Enyenra field (En07-WI and En13-WI) were selected for the dispersion modeling to
represent different water depths along the continental slope. The sites are located approximately 50-70
km south of the coast at water depths of 1330 m and 1990 m, respectively. The study consisted of
simulating the release of drill cuttings and drilling mud at each site for up to four drilling sections, using
varying current conditions over a period of 15 consecutive days. Simulations were performed to
evaluate seabed deposition and sediment plumes following the discharge of cuttings treated with a
thermal desorption unit (TDU).

disagree  Daryo: interesting refs, but that's not what "depth-averaged" means

  -> what would be your suggestion then? "annual inflation averaged 2.4 per cent", this is the basic meaning.

vitesse du courant océanique moyennée sur la profondeur


Explanation:

depth-averaged ocean current speed = at a given location, the ocean current speed is measured at various depths, from the surface to the bottom, and then an average of all these speed measurements is calculated.

D’une manière générale, la vitesse horizontale des courants, moyennée sur la profondeur d’eau, atteinte lors du flot est 20 à 30% plus élevée que celle atteinte lors du jusant.

in fact, the whole of

"depth-averaged and monthly-averaged ocean current speed" is one single value, one "monthly average" of all depth-averaged speeds for that month.

1) the minimum, and 2) the maximum depth-averaged and monthly-averaged ocean current speeds
=
1) le minimum, et 2) le maximum des vitesses du courant océanique moyennées sur la profondeur et sur un mois.

disagree  Francois Boye: NON! La vitesse est mesurée sur une profondeur moyenne. En profondeur moyenne = moyennée sur la profondeur d’eau//The text said DEPTH-averaged, not SPEED-averaged!
2 mins
  -> You definitely need to take a look at Statistics 101 ... What is the current speed at some specific depth that happens to be "the average depth" IS NOT what this ST is about // NEITHER it is about "average speeds" at various depths!

vitesse moyenne des courants océaniques par niveau de profondeur de l'océan


Explanation:
current speeds are measured for each level of oceanic depth. So the average current speed is calculated on the basis of all levels of oceanic depths.

disagree  Daryo: You replace your deleted wrong answer by a mimic of mine, and in the process manage to **express it in the wrong way!** "par niveau de ..." implies a list of *several* values, one for each "niveau" NOT *one* value that represents an average
