Experiment name: PCM3 Principal Investigator: J.Church PI's affiliation: CSIRO Mooring Name: Tas913 Mooring position: 30.057 deg S, 153.562 deg E Instrument depth: 150 meters Seafloor depth: 700 meters Times: starts 17 Nov 1991, ends 22 Sep 1992 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa Meter RCM4 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.70 18.73 82.60 14.41 309.9 dir (deg true) 0.07 157.47 359.02 91.55 309.9 u (cm/sec) -70.95 -0.66 60.66 20.29 309.9 v (cm/sec) -61.38 -2.19 32.46 11.89 309.9 temp (deg C) 8.90 14.47 19.76 1.39 309.9 pressure (db) 185.00 197.66 249.00 12.64 309.9 The nominal depth of this instrument is given as 150 meters. However, the pressure record indicates that the actual depth of the instrument was closer to 190 meters. This is confirmed by pressure records from other current meters on the mooring, which also indicate depths about 40 meters greater than the given depths. The direction series contains episodes of what may be a compass failure, with direction sticking at 75 degrees and 75 + 180 degrees, beginning on 8 Sep 92 and extending to the end of the record. Use these data with caution.
