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 5 Mooring position: 19.989 deg S, 51.633 deg E Instrument depth: 3988 meters Seafloor depth: 4928 meters Times: starts 31 May 1995, ends 18 Jan 1997 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.41 5.92 18.63 2.97 598.4 dir (deg true) 0.00 189.86 359.69 98.92 598.4 u (cm/sec) -13.96 -0.27 12.48 3.64 598.4 v (cm/sec) -17.01 -0.80 17.56 5.47 598.4 temp (deg C) 1.18 1.29 1.43 0.04 598.4 Approximately 8% 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). The speed series from this instrument is problemmatical. It contains several obvious rotorcounter failures. These episodes either have been replaced by predictive interpolation or have been removed entirely. In particular, in lines 4709 - 4753 on 6 Aug 95 speed has been replaced by predictive interpolation. In the following three sections, speed has been removed: lines 5284 - 7166, 18 Sep 95 - 27 Oct 95 lines 8344 - 8738, 20 Nov 95 - 28 Nov 95 lines 9563 - 10329, 16 Dec 95 - 01 Jan 96 There are many other instances that can be interpreted either as rotorcounter failures or as episodes of below-threshold speed. These have been left unchanged. Use these data with caution.Direction is present throughout.
