Experiment name: AnSlope 2003-04 Principal Investigator: A.L.Gordon/A.Orsi/R.D.Pillsbury PI's affiliation: LDEO/TAMU/OSU Mooring Name: West A-1 Mooring position: 72.010 deg S, 172.826 deg E Instrument depth: 587 meters Seafloor depth: 609 meters Times: starts 06 Mar 2003, ends 26 Feb 2004 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8s parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 2.01 65.25 134.33 27.04 320.7 dir (deg true) 0.00 296.18 359.77 51.15 357.7 u (cm/sec) -98.64 -43.17 26.40 22.02 320.7 v (cm/sec) -63.86 33.77 118.29 38.72 320.7 temp (deg C) -1.90 -0.38 0.91 0.63 357.7 The speed record contains an increasing number of dropouts after 24 Dec 03. We have bridged as many of these as we could with linear and predictive interpolations. After line 15392, 2100 20 Jan 04, the speed series is not useful and has been removed. At recovery the current meter's clock was running 13 minutes 51 seconds slow.

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