Experiment name: SCM6 (ADOX) Principal Investigator: R.Dickson PI's affiliation: CEFAS Mooring Name: 9309 Mooring position: 48.198 deg S, 59.628 deg E Instrument depth: 4320 meters Seafloor depth: 4366 meters Times: starts 05 Mar 1993, ends 07 Mar 1994 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.49 11.76 40.09 7.11 195.4 dir (deg true) 0.19 186.50 359.87 127.76 195.4 u (cm/sec) -23.20 0.25 24.25 7.21 195.4 v (cm/sec) -21.42 6.06 40.02 10.01 195.4 temp (deg C) -0.07 0.02 0.42 0.09 367.0 CEFAS notes a problem with the speed sensor of this instrument: Many (21%) speeds are at threshold through the record, increasing in number as the record progresses. The logsheet comment "rotor condition on recovery - no end play" suggests a meter malfunction. A closer examination of the series suggests that a fault developed with the speed sensor during 17 September 1993 and users are advised not to use flow data after 2330 hrs 16 september ... the directions after this time are also suspect and should not be used. For the reason described above, CMDAC has terminated speed and direction at line 4690 (2330 16 Sep 93).
