Experiment name: ACM8 (German component) Principal Investigator: J.Meincke/E.Mittelstaedt PI's affiliation: B.S.H.Hamburg Mooring Name: A1 Mooring position: 59.140 deg N, 34.030 deg W Instrument depth: 876 meters Seafloor depth: 2855 meters Times: starts 08 Sep 1991, ends 05 Sep 1992 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.01 9.58 30.45 5.36 363.0 dir (deg true) 0.07 184.13 359.73 130.32 363.0 u (cm/sec) -22.74 -0.51 24.89 6.85 363.0 v (cm/sec) -16.46 4.74 26.98 7.13 363.0 temp (deg C) 3.27 3.60 4.08 0.13 363.0 pressure (db) 703.68 786.79 961.98 30.05 363.0 cond (mmho/cm) 23.82 32.36 35.92 0.20 363.0 salinity (psu) 24.81 34.77 38.98 0.18 363.0 The pressure series shows a few abrupt changes of depth that might under other circumstances indicate that the mooring was moved. However, these changes do not show up in the pressure record of the meter above this one on the mooring, so probably they indicate that the pressure sensor malfunctioned and that the pressure series is not reliable. The conductivity (and the derived salinity) series show some unrealistic spikes during the second day of operation. These may be due to a sensor malfunction.
