Experiment name: ACM11 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: H.Mercier PI's affiliation: Laboratoire de Physique des Oceans Mooring Name: R3 Mooring position: 0.687 deg N, 14.765 deg W Instrument depth: 3950 meters Seafloor depth: 4375 meters Times: starts 18 Nov 1992, ends 31 Oct 1994 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.80 13.14 38.04 6.65 489.5 dir (deg true) 0.80 82.01 359.80 34.84 712.1 u (cm/sec) -7.24 12.08 34.78 6.55 489.5 v (cm/sec) -18.19 3.08 21.92 4.28 489.5 temp (deg C) 1.89 2.16 2.38 0.07 712.1 pressure (db) 3945.10 3995.91 3998.06 5.22 712.1 The PI notes that speeds from this instrument were uncharacter- istically low after 22 March 94, and that the speed sensor probably malfunctioned. He excluded that portion of the speed series from his data report. We have also excluded it from CMDAC's database. Direction is present throughout, however. We note that there is a second episode of unusually low speed beginning about 21 Dec 93 and lasting through the first 8 days of January 94. These speeds remain in the database.
