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 15 Mooring position: 20.001 deg S, 88.792 deg E Instrument depth: 4050 meters Seafloor depth: 4469 meters Times: starts 07 May 1995, ends 01 Feb 1997 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.93 4.65 11.73 2.08 44.5 dir (deg true) 0.00 156.04 359.67 106.57 635.3 u (cm/sec) -8.76 -0.71 6.67 2.35 44.5 v (cm/sec) -10.21 -3.91 4.22 2.16 44.5 temp (deg C) 1.09 1.12 1.17 0.01 635.3 The speed sensor failed about 45 days into the deployment. The last good speed is at line 2138, on 21 Jun 95. Approximately 10% of the speeds from the first 45 days were below the instrument's threshold and have been set to 0.93 cm/sec (half the threshold). Direction is present throughout, however.
