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: 3208 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 7.26 32.78 6.41 692.0 dir (deg true) 0.00 119.79 359.83 121.49 692.0 u (cm/sec) -14.06 1.69 18.36 3.79 692.0 v (cm/sec) -18.23 4.65 31.63 7.41 692.0 temp (deg C) 0.31 1.23 2.17 0.35 692.0 Approximately 23% of the speeds in this record were below the current meter's threshold, and have been set to the threshold value (1 cm/sec). The direction series appears to contain a large number of short linear interpolations, most of them less than a day in length. Indications are that the mooring slipped downslope and settled about 35 meters deeper during a high-speed event at the end of February 1991.
