Experiment name: Iceland-Faroe Overflow (ACM8) Principal Investigator: P.Saunders PI's affiliation: Inst. Oceanog. Sci. (UK) Mooring Name: 504 (D) Mooring position: 62.718 deg N, 16.820 deg W Instrument depth: 1465 meters Seafloor depth: 1800 meters Times: starts 15 Jul 1990, ends 17 Jan 1991 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 2.15 19.40 57.36 9.64 186.0 dir (deg true) 1.74 223.02 359.90 77.70 186.0 u (cm/sec) -57.00 -10.28 28.53 14.88 186.0 v (cm/sec) -42.82 -3.28 43.06 11.47 186.0 temp (deg C) 2.47 3.59 4.26 0.24 186.0 This record was terminated early by the originator because of a battery or decoder failure. However, speed and to a lesser extent direction in the final 20 days of the portion that remains are somewhat unreliable, and CMDAC has created an alternate file in which u and v are terminated earlier, on 29 Dec 90. Both versions of the file are available on this disk.
