Experiment name: Denmark Str Ovfl (ACM8) Principal Investigator: R.Dickson PI's affiliation: MAFF Mooring Name: 8907 Mooring position: 63.000 deg N, 35.335 deg W Instrument depth: 2229 meters Seafloor depth: 2634 meters Times: starts 02 Jul 1989, ends 06 Mar 1990 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.49 8.56 31.17 5.12 246.9 dir (deg true) 0.00 217.49 359.49 98.99 246.9 u (cm/sec) -26.13 -3.26 24.58 7.11 246.9 v (cm/sec) -19.41 0.95 22.69 6.12 246.9 temp (deg C) 2.45 3.05 3.27 0.09 246.9 The speed series of this record contains an unusual event, a steep decrease followed by an exceptionally steep increase, on 15 Aug 89. This event may not be natural. CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of this file in which a direction spike on 15 Aug 89 has been smoothed by interpolation. The spike may be related to the speed event described above, though it preceeds it by two hours. Both versions of the file are available on this disk.
