Experiment name: PCM3 Principal Investigator: J.Church PI's affiliation: CSIRO Mooring Name: Tas925 Mooring position: 30.133 deg S, 153.965 deg E Instrument depth: 600 meters Seafloor depth: 4435 meters Times: starts 27 Sep 1992, ends 26 Oct 1993 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa Meter RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.49 20.20 58.90 8.89 393.9 dir (deg true) 0.06 205.41 359.03 78.76 393.9 u (cm/sec) -50.41 -10.56 41.37 15.66 393.9 v (cm/sec) -31.58 -5.03 43.62 10.25 393.9 temp (deg C) 1.57 5.75 8.10 1.32 393.9 pressure (db) 686.00 914.17 2547.00 288.44 393.9 The minimum pressure recorded by this instrument corresponds to a depth of about 680m, rather than the given depth of 600m. Be aware that this mooring experienced a great deal of blowover: this current meter's maximum depth was about 2510m. The speed series contains a short gap in lines 8803 - 8825 (0200 29 Sep 93 - 0000 30 Sep 93). CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of this file in which the speed gap mentioned above has been bridged with a predictive interpolation. Both versions of the file are available on this disk.
