Experiment name: SCM2 Principal Investigator: E.Fahrbach PI's affiliation: Alfred Wegener Inst. Mooring Name: AWI232-3 Mooring position: 68.995 deg S, 0.062 deg W Instrument depth: 1802 meters Seafloor depth: 3450 meters Times: starts 30 Apr 1998, ends 19 Jan 1999 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.06 4.52 14.10 2.29 263.8 dir (deg true) 0.90 257.24 359.50 53.00 263.8 u (cm/sec) -13.85 -3.82 8.42 2.61 263.8 v (cm/sec) -9.97 -0.16 6.39 2.07 263.8 temp (deg C) -0.05 0.01 0.07 0.02 263.8 pressure (db) 1800.30 1806.96 1842.50 7.78 263.8 salinity (psu) 34.62 34.67 34.74 0.02 263.8 The pressure record contains evidence that the mooring moved to a location approximately 14 meters deeper on 11 Oct 98. Similar anomalies are present in the pressure and current records from the other instruments on this mooring. Speed contains numberous gaps. CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of the file in which the shorter speed gaps have been filled by linear interpolations and the longer gaps by predictive interpolations. Neither version of the file is available on this disk. These data may be released to the public domain at some point in the future.
