Experiment name: ACM24 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: G.Weatherly PI's affiliation: FSU Mooring Name: Mooring 5 Mooring position: 18.432 deg S, 34.866 deg W Instrument depth: 1800 meters Seafloor depth: 4153 meters Times: starts 30 Sep 1993, ends 23 Mar 1995 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: modified Geodyne 101 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.90 9.07 41.30 5.95 539.8 dir (deg true) 0.00 179.51 359.78 105.20 539.8 u (cm/sec) -18.96 1.21 40.00 7.27 539.8 v (cm/sec) -36.47 -0.05 37.61 7.96 539.8 temp (deg C) 3.53 3.84 4.19 0.08 539.8 pressure (db) 1918.40 1933.39 2211.20 20.77 539.8 The nominal depth of this current meter (the depth provided by the PI) is 1800 m. However, the minimum pressure recorded by the instrument, 1918.4 db, corresponds to a depth of about 1896 m. If this pressure is correct, the depths of some of the other current meters on this mooring should be adjusted accordingly.
