Experiment name: ICM7 Principal Investigator: F.Schott/D.Quadfasel PI's affiliation: Institut fuer Meereskund Mooring Name: IK16 Mooring position: 9.669 deg N, 53.940 deg E Instrument depth: 2067 meters Seafloor depth: 4609 meters Times: starts 03 Apr 1995, ends 22 Oct 1996 Time increment: 720 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM-8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.36 6.96 18.60 3.29 568.0 dir (deg true) 0.64 164.57 358.49 91.28 568.0 u (cm/sec) -13.10 0.54 18.60 5.66 568.0 v (cm/sec) -14.50 -1.23 11.20 5.05 568.0 temp (deg C) 2.55 2.99 3.35 0.17 568.0 pressure (db) 2055.50 2066.62 2113.10 14.91 568.0 All of the time series have been low-pass filtered and decimated to two points per day, by the PI. The filter is described as having a "40-hour cutoff." CMDAC does not have the original unfiltered data. Pressure is maximum and constant during 14 Feb 96 - 26 Feb 96 and again for about 2 weeks near the end of the record (29 Sep 96 - 14 Oct 96). The pressure sensor appears to have gone offscale during both episodes. The current meter's temperature sensor was not specially calibrated for this experiment. That is, the manufacturer's calibration was used. Since the response of a sensor and its circuitry may drift substantially in time, these temperatures should be used with caution.
