Experiment name: PCM3 Principal Investigator: J.Church PI's affiliation: CSIRO Mooring Name: Tas922 Mooring position: 30.063 deg S, 153.543 deg E Instrument depth: 150 meters Seafloor depth: 200 meters Times: starts 29 Sep 1992, ends 29 Sep 1993 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa Meter RCM4 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.49 18.66 94.00 17.26 365.0 dir (deg true) 0.16 181.31 358.96 94.79 365.0 u (cm/sec) -92.27 -6.92 76.22 23.13 365.0 v (cm/sec) -24.76 -0.32 58.70 7.96 365.0 temp (deg C) 9.38 15.23 21.79 2.15 365.0 About 10% of the speeds appear to have been below the current meter's threshold and have been set to the thershold value (1.5 cm/sec). Most of these speeds occur during the final month of the record. (In situations like this, where speeds are markedly lower at the end of a deployment, one should consider the possibility that the bearings of the meter's rotor bearings may have gone bad, or that the rotor may have become fouled by growth.)
