Experiment name: ICM3 Principal Investigator: W.D.Nowlin/R.D.Pillsbury/B.Warren/T.Whitworth PI's affiliation: TAMU/OSU/WHOI/TAMU Mooring Name: Mooring 10 Mooring position: 19.999 deg S, 71.547 deg E Instrument depth: 3329 meters Seafloor depth: 3875 meters Times: starts 16 May 1995, ends 26 Jan 1997 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.93 2.56 10.58 1.74 620.8 dir (deg true) 0.07 189.98 359.71 103.48 620.8 u (cm/sec) -10.10 -0.22 7.27 2.11 620.8 v (cm/sec) -9.11 0.02 10.20 2.25 620.8 temp (deg C) 1.39 1.42 1.47 0.01 620.8 pressure (db) 3412.34 3426.08 3436.11 2.81 620.8 Approximately 45% of the speeds recorded by this meter were below the instrument's threshold and have been set to 0.93 cm/sec (half the threshold). As with several other current records from the Center Array, the depth that one obtains from line lengths is significantly less than the depth calculated from the pressure record. We have used the depth from line lengths as the depth of the instrument.
