Experiment name: Iceland-Faroe Overflow (ACM8) Principal Investigator: P.Saunders PI's affiliation: Inst. Oceanog. Sci. (UK) Mooring Name: 505 (E) Mooring position: 62.440 deg N, 16.471 deg W Instrument depth: 1403 meters Seafloor depth: 2056 meters Times: starts 15 Jul 1990, ends 12 Apr 1991 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 3.80 13.21 53.92 7.87 270.8 dir (deg true) 0.33 208.19 359.98 98.20 270.8 u (cm/sec) -33.08 -3.03 48.92 11.46 270.8 v (cm/sec) -46.73 -0.50 28.93 9.79 270.8 temp (deg C) 3.59 3.91 4.76 0.14 270.8 pressure (db) 1412.16 1417.65 1512.71 9.87 270.8 This is an excellent record; however, the speed sensor's rotorcounter failed briefly in lines 3394 through 3408 (1630 3 Dec 90 - 0630 4 Dec 90). CMDAC has prepared an alternate file in which this gap in the speed series was bridged by means of a predictive filter. Both versions of the record are available on this disk.
