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: 1722 meters Seafloor depth: 2056 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) 4.10 14.55 42.17 6.46 403.3 dir (deg true) 0.16 213.23 359.81 102.26 403.3 u (cm/sec) -35.11 -4.26 41.24 11.67 403.3 v (cm/sec) -36.65 1.10 27.71 9.90 403.3 temp (deg C) 3.03 3.62 4.18 0.12 403.3 Accession 1054 contains an unusual 4-hour direction episode on 27/28 Aug 90 that may be an instrument error. This episode coincides with a 7-hour segment of speeds that the originator has linearly interpolated. CMDAC has prepared an alternate file in which u and v during the 7-hour segment have been replaced by means of a predictive filter. In addition, three speed spikes later in the record have been removed (in the alternate version). The spikes are on 18 sep 90, 5 Feb 91, and 14 Feb 91. Both versions of the file are available on this disk.
