Experiment name: Denmark Str Ovfl (ACM8) Principal Investigator: R.Dickson PI's affiliation: MAFF Lowestoft Mooring Name: 9001 Mooring position: 64.750 deg N, 30.550 deg W Instrument depth: 1679 meters Seafloor depth: 2200 meters Times: starts 09 Mar 1990, ends 10 Jul 1990 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.49 2.68 10.27 1.41 122.8 dir (deg true) 225.15 232.37 238.70 4.09 122.8 u (cm/sec) -7.55 -2.09 -1.09 1.06 122.8 v (cm/sec) -6.96 -1.66 -0.78 0.96 122.8 temp (deg C) 3.33 3.52 3.82 0.06 122.8 When recovered this meter was fouled with rope and the rotor was stiff. Approximately 43% of the speeds were at or below the meter's threshhold and directions were confined to a narrow range between 220 degrees and 240 degrees. CMDAC believes that u and v in this record are not useful. We have prepared an alternate version that contains only temperature. Both the original version of the file and the alternate (temperature only) version are available on this disk.
