Experiment name: ACM24 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: G.Weatherly PI's affiliation: FSU Mooring Name: Mooring 1 Mooring position: 18.869 deg S, 37.796 deg W Instrument depth: 1731 meters Seafloor depth: 1738 meters Times: starts 01 Oct 1993, ends 29 Mar 1995 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: modified Geodyne 101 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.96 6.91 34.30 4.38 543.3 dir (deg true) 0.00 150.39 359.88 95.50 543.3 u (cm/sec) -10.54 1.39 27.61 4.60 543.3 v (cm/sec) -21.19 -0.08 22.63 6.62 543.3 temp (deg C) 3.56 4.21 4.48 0.13 543.3 The speed and direction series from this instrument are exceptionally noisy, compared to those from the other instruments used in this experiment. Some 14% of the recorded speeds were below the current meter's threshold. CMDAC thinks it likely that much of the noise (i.e., the high-frequency energy) and at least some of the below-threshold speeds were caused by instrument failure. Use these data with extreme caution.
