Experiment name: AnSlope 2003-04 Principal Investigator: A.L.Gordon/A.Orsi/R.D.Pillsbury PI's affiliation: LDEO/TAMU/OSU Mooring Name: ADP-1 Mooring position: 71.981 deg S, 172.595 deg E Instrument depth: 809 meters Seafloor depth: 890 meters Times: starts 06 Mar 2003, ends 27 Feb 2004 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: SBE-37 MicroCat parameter min mean max sd days temp (deg C) -1.88 -0.14 1.08 0.63 357.2 pressure (db) 820.50 861.53 916.50 23.70 357.2 cond (mmho/cm) 27.63 29.09 30.13 0.52 357.2 Pressure records from the instruments on this mooring show that the mooring slipped downslope several times during the experiment. For example, during the week beginning 24 Mar 03 the mooring's depth increased by about 6 meters. On 24 Apr 03 the depth increased by 2.4 meters. Between 19 May and 21 May it increased by over 6 meters. The total depth change during the experiment was about 24 meters, most of which had occurred by 1 Jun 03.
