Experiment name: Iceland-Faroe Overflow (ACM8) Principal Investigator: P.Saunders PI's affiliation: Inst. Oceanog. Sci. (UK) Mooring Name: 501 (A) Mooring position: 61.738 deg N, 15.398 deg W Instrument depth: 2281 meters Seafloor depth: 2291 meters Times: starts 15 Jul 1990, ends 22 Aug 1991 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 4.21 12.24 31.80 5.22 403.0 dir (deg true) 0.17 197.99 359.81 117.56 403.0 u (cm/sec) -29.29 -2.02 21.71 7.14 403.0 v (cm/sec) -28.27 2.58 29.90 10.74 403.0 temp (deg C) 1.43 2.78 3.32 0.36 403.0 This file contains a speed spike at 1030 16 July 1990, during the first day of the record. This spike probably represents an instrument error. CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of the record in which the spike has been removed by linear interpolation. Both versions of the file are available on this disk.
