Profiling current meter measurements of near-surface equatorial currents are compared with concurrent moored current meter measurements. Rms differences between the two are less than 15 cm s-1 when PCM measurements are referenced to 300--500 m and less than 10 cm s-1 when considered as relative velocity. The lack of an absolute reference level was the major contributor to differences in transport per unit width.
