Experiment name: ACM12 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: W.Zenk PI's affiliation: IFM-Kiel Mooring Name: BE/335 Mooring position: 28.269 deg S, 45.225 deg W Instrument depth: 950 meters Seafloor depth: 3258 meters Times: starts 04 Jan 1991, ends 25 Nov 1992 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.99 5.04 32.20 4.91 692.0 dir (deg true) 0.00 210.43 359.73 91.49 692.0 u (cm/sec) -22.20 -1.32 27.04 5.70 692.0 v (cm/sec) -21.30 -0.46 29.61 3.89 692.0 temp (deg C) 3.42 4.32 4.95 0.22 692.0 The speed series in this record is not particularly good. Approximately 28% of the speeds were at or below the instrument's threshold, and have been set to the threshold value (1 cm/sec). The speed series also contains a large number of short interpolations to replace bad data. Most of the interpolations are a quarter to a half day in length. Blowover of this mooring was substantial. Several large dips in temperature can be related to blowover (see the pressure record from the top instrument on the mooring). The mooring appears to have slipped downslope and settled about 35 meters deeper during a high-speed event at the end of February 1991.
