Experiment name: Denmark Str Ovfl (ACM8) Principal Investigator: R.Dickson PI's affiliation: MAFF Mooring Name: 8704 Mooring position: 63.278 deg N, 35.893 deg W Instrument depth: 2255 meters Seafloor depth: 2355 meters Times: starts 27 Jun 1987, ends 30 Jun 1988 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.49 25.39 69.63 11.77 369.0 dir (deg true) 0.36 240.14 359.60 42.51 369.0 u (cm/sec) -64.24 -20.03 24.30 12.53 369.0 v (cm/sec) -55.89 -9.90 25.56 11.27 369.0 temp (deg C) 0.79 1.66 2.88 0.33 369.0 The speed series of this record contains a large number of spikes that appear to be instrument errors. CMDAC has prepared an alternate file in which the data have been smoothed in two steps: First, many individual speed spikes were removed by linear interpolation. Second, all of the time series (u, v, and tempterature) were smoothed further by passing them through a low pass cosine-lanczos filter. This filter removes completely all frequencies higher than 9.4 cycles per day; frequencies lower than 6.6 cycles per day are passed unattenuated. Both the original and alternate versions of the file are available on this disk.
