Experiment name: ACM11 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: H.Mercier PI's affiliation: Laboratoire de Physique des Oceans Mooring Name: C1 Mooring position: 0.870 deg S, 13.538 deg W Instrument depth: 3750 meters Seafloor depth: 4225 meters Times: starts 19 Nov 1992, ends 02 Nov 1994 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.30 7.34 21.78 3.24 712.8 dir (deg true) 0.50 103.11 359.80 55.04 712.8 u (cm/sec) -12.65 6.35 19.18 4.25 712.8 v (cm/sec) -8.87 0.40 11.31 2.41 712.8 temp (deg C) 2.13 2.34 2.43 0.04 712.8 pressure (db) 3776.21 3802.57 3833.19 11.33 712.8 As with many of the other RCM8s used in this experiment, the pressure sensor appears to have been affected by temperature. For most of the record the pressure trace follows the temperature trace closely. CMDAC believes that while the mean pressure may be correct, the variations are due to temperature rather than pressure. Use these data with caution. The speed series has a gap in lines 5943 - 6080 (0500 25 Jul 93 - 2200 30 Jul 93) due to an apparent rotorcounter failure. CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of the file in which the gap has been bridged by predictive interpolation. Both versions of the file are available on this disk.
