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 9 Mooring position: 20.001 deg S, 70.631 deg E Instrument depth: 2513 meters Seafloor depth: 3634 meters Times: starts 15 May 1995, ends 25 Jan 1997 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.93 4.28 14.60 2.36 620.3 dir (deg true) 0.30 213.08 359.93 117.55 620.3 u (cm/sec) -12.68 -1.00 9.45 2.99 620.3 v (cm/sec) -8.81 1.63 14.41 3.35 620.3 temp (deg C) 1.57 1.69 1.84 0.04 620.3 pressure (db) 2660.99 2667.85 2668.58 1.51 620.3 Approximately 18% 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 depth of this instrument was about 2625 meters, according to the pressure record, but closer to 2513 meters according to line lengths. The latter figure probably is accurate. The striking pressure change one sees during September 95 in the time series plot is actually equal only to the resolution of the instrument, and is not significant.
