Experiment name: PCM3 Principal Investigator: J.Church PI's affiliation: CSIRO Mooring Name: Tas924 Mooring position: 30.118 deg S, 153.647 deg E Instrument depth: 650 meters Seafloor depth: 2050 meters Times: starts 27 Sep 1992, ends 03 Nov 1993 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa Meter RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.49 11.74 54.60 8.70 401.1 dir (deg true) 0.00 181.13 359.14 95.22 401.1 u (cm/sec) -49.88 -3.45 26.02 11.55 401.1 v (cm/sec) -42.00 -1.71 30.87 8.12 401.1 temp (deg C) 5.41 6.68 8.47 0.39 401.1 pressure (db) 790.00 832.04 951.00 12.87 401.1 The minimum pressure recorded by this instrument corresponds to a depth of about 780m, rather than the given depth of 650m. Note that the pressure record from Accession 2093, which is from a current meter that was on the same mooring, also indicates that the depth was greater than the given depth - by about the same amount. The speed series contains a short gap in lines 105 - 114 (0700 2 Oct 92 - 1600 2 Oct 92). Direction contains a gap in lines 9058 - 9112 (0800 10 Oct 93 - 1400 12 Oct 93). A few days beyond the gap, during 14 and 15 Oct 93, there are a number of obviously bad directions. CMDAC has prepared an alternate version of this file in which the speed and direction gaps described above have been replaced by predictive interpolations. The 11 bad directions on 14 and 15 Oct 93 have been replaced by linear interpolations in the alternate file. Both the original and alternate versions of the file are available on this disk.
