Experiment name: Hi Lat Dyn: Beaufort Sea Principal Investigator: K.Aagaard Affiliation: U of Washington Mooring name: AO1-90 Mooring position: 72.620 deg N, 143.568 deg W Instrument depth: 102 meters Seafloor depth: 3339 meters Times: 0400 04 Sep 1990 to 2300 23 Feb 1992 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.00 2.43 36.30 7.05 537.83 dir (deg true) 0.00 227.09 360.00 100.49 537.83 u (cm/sec) -34.59 -1.03 20.21 5.11 537.83 v (cm/sec) -36.03 0.10 32.74 5.32 537.83 temp (deg C) -1.55 -1.40 -0.92 0.05 537.83 salinity (PSU) 32.30 32.64 32.90 0.08 537.83 Approximately 87.4% of this record's speeds were below the speed sensor's threshold (1.6 cm/sec) and are carried as zero. In addition, the record (as we found it) contained a number of speed wrap-arounds, which we have fixed. A speed wrap-around occurs when the current is high enough to push the speed sensor's rotation counter beyond its maximum (1023) to 1024 or higher. 1024 registers as 0, 1025 as 1, and so forth.
