Experiment name: Denmark Str Ovfl (ACM8) Principal Investigator: R.Dickson PI's affiliation: MAFF Mooring Name: 8908 Mooring position: 63.202 deg N, 35.728 deg W Instrument depth: 2026 meters Seafloor depth: 2463 meters Times: starts 02 Jul 1989, ends 06 Aug 1990 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.49 12.56 47.79 7.29 399.2 dir (deg true) 0.12 202.17 359.81 84.17 399.2 u (cm/sec) -40.88 -3.34 38.97 11.26 399.2 v (cm/sec) -36.17 -2.53 33.99 8.16 399.2 temp (deg C) 2.61 3.20 3.44 0.11 399.2 MAFF notes that the number of speeds at or below threshhold increases toward the end of the record. From 2105 31 Jul 90 to 1905 1 Aug 90 all speeds are at or below threshhold. CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of this file in which two anomalous directions on 25 Jul 89 have been replaced by linear interpolation. Both the original file and the alternate version are available on this disk.
