Experiment name: MAPKIWI (PCM9) Principal Investigator: W.D.Nowlin/R.D.Pillsbury/B.Warren/T.Whitworth PI's affiliation: OSU/TAMU/WHOI Mooring Name: Kiwi 13 Mooring position: 32.504 deg S, 173.047 deg W Instrument depth: 3970 meters Seafloor depth: 5945 meters Times: starts 09 Feb 1991, ends 29 Nov 1992 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.93 3.19 11.15 1.76 659.5 temp (deg C) 1.18 1.24 1.31 0.02 659.5 The current meter's compass failed and no directions were recorded. This record contains just speed and temperature. Approximately 28% of the speeds were at or below the current meter's threshold (1.86 cm/sec). They have been set to half the threshold value. The speed series contains two gaps where the meter's rotorcounter appears to have failed. The first extends from 2000 3 May 91 through 0300 11 May 91 (lines 4019 through 4369) and the second extends from 0200 1 Feb 92 through 1600 2 Feb 92 (lines 17135 through 17211).
