Experiment name: ACM8 (German component) Principal Investigator: J.Meincke/E.Mittelstaedt PI's affiliation: B.S.H.Hamburg Mooring Name: F2 Mooring position: 52.378 deg N, 16.362 deg W Instrument depth: 3431 meters Seafloor depth: 3481 meters Times: starts 30 Aug 1992, ends 05 Aug 1993 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.01 6.97 25.22 5.19 340.3 dir (deg true) 0.16 171.43 359.79 100.79 340.3 u (cm/sec) -22.67 -0.72 18.58 5.92 340.3 v (cm/sec) -21.84 -0.53 18.78 6.30 340.3 temp (deg C) 2.34 2.37 2.52 0.03 340.3 Approximately 18% 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.)
