Experiment name: ACM8 (German component) Principal Investigator: J.Meincke/E.Mittelstaedt PI's affiliation: B.S.H.Hamburg Mooring Name: B1 Mooring position: 59.000 deg N, 32.808 deg W Instrument depth: 1996 meters Seafloor depth: 2110 meters Times: starts 08 Sep 1991, ends 05 Sep 1992 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.01 4.00 29.87 5.04 362.4 dir (deg true) 0.07 145.72 359.73 125.69 362.4 u (cm/sec) -21.36 0.79 22.72 3.71 362.4 v (cm/sec) -23.82 1.82 28.61 4.87 362.4 temp (deg C) 3.11 3.29 3.45 0.07 362.4 Approximately 41% of the speeds in this record were below the current meter's threshold and have been set to 0.01 cm/sec. (The speeds were set to a nonzero value so that direction information would be preserved in u and v. For the most part, current records in this component of ACM-8 contain u and v but not speed or direction. Hence, in order to preserve direction without expicitly including a time series of directions, BSH has elected to represent below-threshold speeds as 0.01 cm/sec, encoded in u and v. This is true for all the current records in the German portion of ACM-8.)
