Experiment name: Denmark Str Ovfl (ACM8) Principal Investigator: R.Dickson PI's affiliation: MAFF Mooring Name: 8806 Mooring position: 62.907 deg N, 35.110 deg W Instrument depth: 1871 meters Seafloor depth: 2706 meters Times: starts 04 Jul 1988, ends 28 Jun 1989 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.49 7.38 31.37 4.65 359.3 dir (deg true) 0.12 198.11 359.94 105.38 359.3 u (cm/sec) -30.75 -1.72 30.85 6.90 359.3 v (cm/sec) -18.75 0.52 19.03 5.02 359.3 temp (deg C) 3.07 3.37 3.48 0.04 359.3 The following note is provided by MAFF: The record seems OK, although many (14%) speeds were at threshhold. CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of this file in which some apparent speed dropouts have been smoothed by linear interpolation. (A speed dropout occurs when the current meter's rotorcounter fails, usually for several data cycles.) Both the original version of the file and the value-added version are available on this disk.
