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: 2551 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 3.45 24.93 4.49 363.0 dir (deg true) 0.07 167.35 359.73 120.18 363.0 u (cm/sec) -18.29 -0.19 11.89 2.59 363.0 v (cm/sec) -24.06 0.47 23.17 5.01 363.0 temp (deg C) 2.86 3.02 3.31 0.05 363.0 Approximately 46% of the speeds in this record were below the current meter's threshold and have been set to 0.01 cm/sec. (The speeds were set to a nonzero value so that direction information would be preserved in u and v. For the most part, current records in this component of ACM-8 contain u and v but not speed or direction. Hence, in order to preserve direction without expicitly including a time series of directions, BSH has elected to represent below-threshold speeds as 0.01 cm/sec, encoded in u and v. This is true for all the current records in the German portion of ACM-8.)
