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 12 Mooring position: 19.998 deg S, 73.326 deg E Instrument depth: 3001 meters Seafloor depth: 4883 meters Times: starts 14 May 1995, ends 27 Jan 1997 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.93 2.36 11.15 1.78 623.5 dir (deg true) 0.07 189.01 359.71 105.06 623.5 u (cm/sec) -10.65 -0.36 8.72 2.19 623.5 v (cm/sec) -8.48 -0.01 7.44 1.95 623.5 temp (deg C) 1.51 1.59 1.67 0.03 623.5 pressure (db) 2962.70 3013.54 3057.14 33.42 623.5 Approximately 54% 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). The pressure record shows a consistent trend toward lower pressures that may represent sensor drift rather than line stretch or movement of the mooring. The given depth of the instrument, 3001 meters, is based on bottom depth and line lengths - and not on the pressure record.
