Experiment name: Denmark Str Ovfl (ACM8) Principal Investigator: R.Dickson PI's affiliation: MAFF Mooring Name: 8807 Mooring position: 62.653 deg N, 34.515 deg W Instrument depth: 2767 meters Seafloor depth: 2827 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 10.15 32.30 5.42 359.0 dir (deg true) 0.21 189.75 359.32 72.49 359.0 u (cm/sec) -27.41 -1.71 25.30 8.20 359.0 v (cm/sec) -27.59 -4.58 19.42 6.42 359.0 temp (deg C) 0.17 1.37 2.30 0.26 359.0 The temperature series of this record contains numerous spikes that may be instrument errors. You should look carefully at these temperatures before using them. The speed series also contains several spikes that may be errors. CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of this file in which the speed spikes have been smoothed by linear interpolation. In addition, 11 hours of below-threshhold speeds on 14 Apr 89 that appear to represent a rotorcounter failure have been excised. Both the original version of the file and the alternate are available on this disk.
