Experiment name: AnSlope 2003-04 Principal Investigator: A.L.Gordon/A.Orsi/R.D.Pillsbury PI's affiliation: LDEO/TAMU/OSU Mooring Name: Central C-1 Mooring position: 72.031 deg S, 173.093 deg E Instrument depth: 630 meters Seafloor depth: 651 meters Times: starts 03 Mar 2003, ends 27 Feb 2004 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8s parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.66 58.49 116.90 24.74 361.8 dir (deg true) 0.19 274.59 359.81 87.22 361.8 u (cm/sec) -101.84 -34.49 72.81 27.50 361.8 v (cm/sec) -52.21 31.53 109.62 33.06 361.8 temp (deg C) -1.89 -0.24 0.75 0.48 361.8 Almost no directions were recorded between about 60 degrees and 220 degrees. There are a few tidal cycles where the direction curve crosses this gap with 2 or 3 points. Otherwise, the directions appear reasonable. Was this instrument sitting in a narrow channel? The rcm's clock was running 10 minutes 14 seconds slow at recovery.

The axes of the PVD are labelled in kilometers. Boxes mark the beginning of each month.
