Experiment name: ICM3 Principal Investigator: W.D.Nowlin/R.D.Pillsbury/B.Warren/T.Whitworth PI's affiliation: TAMU/OSU/WHOI/TAMU Mooring Name: Mooring 3 Mooring position: 20.001 deg S, 50.334 deg E Instrument depth: 3485 meters Seafloor depth: 4615 meters Times: starts 31 May 1995, ends 17 Jan 1997 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.93 6.18 24.96 3.62 596.2 dir (deg true) 0.00 163.75 359.64 91.36 596.2 u (cm/sec) -19.10 0.88 24.54 4.58 596.2 v (cm/sec) -17.84 -1.66 14.57 5.17 596.2 temp (deg C) 1.37 1.62 1.82 0.08 596.2 pressure (db) 3494.95 3543.67 3597.65 34.63 596.2 Approximately 10% of the speeds recorded by this meter were below the instrument's threshold and have been set to 0.93 cm/sec (half the threshold). There appears to be a problem with the pressure record from this meter, which shows a decrease of about 60 db over 5 days in early April 1996. Pressure then remains at the lower level. This drop in pressure is not seen in the record from the instrument above this one. It is difficult to account for except as sensor drift.
