Experiment name: NPEO Principal Investigator: K.Aagaard Affiliation: U of Washington Mooring name: NP 2001-02 Mooring position: 89.557 deg N, 66.647 deg E Instrument depth: 84 meters Seafloor depth: 4293 meters Times: 0859 10 Apr 2001 to 1708 19 Apr 2002 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM7 parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.75 3.40 17.51 2.86 374.38 dir (deg true) 0.26 204.83 359.90 118.50 374.38 u (cm/sec) -17.24 -0.55 12.09 3.06 374.38 v (cm/sec) -13.92 0.91 15.90 3.04 374.38 temp (deg C) -1.86 -1.67 -1.52 0.05 374.38 pressure (db) 88.65 91.43 99.64 0.74 374.38 cond (mmho/cm) 25.38 26.26 30.07 0.32 374.38 salinity (PSU) 31.91 33.06 38.41 0.44 374.38 Pressure inceases by about 2 db during the first several hours. Some other instruments on this mooring show a similar increase. This may indicate that the mooring slid deeper, or that the pressure sensors became acclimated slowly. About 18.6% of the speeds were at or below the instrument's stall speed, which is 0.75 cm/sec (and have been recorded as 0.75 cm/sec).
