Experiment name: SCM3 (AUSSAF) Principal Investigator: S.Rintoul PI's affiliation: CSIRO Marine Research Mooring Name: West Mooring position: 50.553 deg S, 142.708 deg E Instrument depth: 3200 meters Seafloor depth: 3770 meters Times: starts 16 Mar 1993, ends 21 Apr 1994 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.10 5.76 25.50 4.09 398.7 dir (deg true) 0.00 148.92 359.00 92.33 398.7 u (cm/sec) -16.37 1.29 19.09 4.50 398.7 v (cm/sec) -25.50 -0.59 16.76 5.26 398.7 temp (deg C) 1.02 1.32 1.51 0.12 401.9 pressure (db) 3043.80 3111.49 3332.00 51.67 401.9 Speed and direction begin about 3 days later than temperature and pressure in this file. The first good speed and direction are at line 39 (0600 19 Mar 93). Pressure values at the beginning of the record correspond to a depth of about 3280 m, but drift to significantly shallower values later in the record. This appears to be due to sensor drift, and these pressures should not be used uncritically.
