Experiment name: ACM8 (German component) Principal Investigator: J.Meincke/E.Mittelstaedt PI's affiliation: B.S.H.Hamburg Mooring Name: E4 Mooring position: 54.422 deg N, 25.902 deg W Instrument depth: 3095 meters Seafloor depth: 3300 meters Times: starts 27 May 1994, ends 02 Jun 1995 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.01 5.25 25.91 4.30 371.2 dir (deg true) 0.16 82.95 359.80 24.69 371.2 u (cm/sec) -3.63 4.50 17.97 3.42 371.2 v (cm/sec) -6.60 1.45 25.36 3.47 371.2 temp (deg C) 1.91 2.07 2.27 0.06 371.2 Approximately 22% 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.) This current meter carried a pressure sensor, which failed. The pressure record contained no useful information and has not been included here.
