Experiment name: SCM7 Principal Investigator: E.Fahrbach PI's affiliation: Alfred Wegener Inst. Mooring Name: AWI201-2 Mooring position: 72.880 deg S, 19.625 deg W Instrument depth: 380 meters Seafloor depth: 461 meters Times: starts 21 Feb 1987, ends 08 Jan 1988 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.00 7.72 29.21 4.94 320.9 dir (deg true) 0.00 217.04 359.66 49.90 320.9 u (cm/sec) -20.13 -4.40 13.55 3.79 320.9 v (cm/sec) -27.54 -5.17 11.78 4.84 320.9 temp (deg C) -1.82 -1.70 -0.49 0.09 320.9 salinity (psu) 34.30 34.57 34.86 0.09 320.9 There are possible speed dropouts on 22 Apr 87 and again on 25 and 26 Apr 87. (Speed dropouts result from failures of the current meter's rotorcounter.) Also, speed has been set to zero from 21 Nov 87 to 1 Dec 87. Is this a rotorcounter failure or an actual episode of below-threshold speeds? Speeds from the other meter on this mooring, which was 100 meters shallower, are low but above threshold during this time.
