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 8 Mooring position: 20.000 deg S, 70.067 deg E Instrument depth: 2521 meters Seafloor depth: 3872 meters Times: starts 15 May 1995, ends 24 Jan 1997 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.93 4.59 16.61 2.53 619.8 dir (deg true) 0.00 203.52 359.67 108.94 619.8 u (cm/sec) -16.09 -1.26 13.14 3.73 619.8 v (cm/sec) -11.40 0.68 13.73 3.39 619.8 temp (deg C) 1.60 1.71 1.85 0.05 619.8 pressure (db) 2620.80 2633.33 2635.68 1.91 619.8 Approximately 14% 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 contains some odd variations that are unrelated to current speed and appear to be due to sensor drift. In addition, these pressures are about 80m greater than the depth one obtains from the bottom depth and line lengths. We have selected the latter as the depth of the instrument.
