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: 210 meters Seafloor depth: 4293 meters Times: 0830 10 Apr 2001 to 1653 19 Apr 2002 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Seabird SBE16 parameter min mean max stddev days temp (deg C) 0.50 0.99 1.23 0.13 374.38 pressure (db) 208.39 211.38 219.69 0.72 374.38 cond (mmho/cm) 29.33 29.79 30.01 0.13 374.38 salinity (PSU) 34.56 34.74 34.89 0.03 374.38 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.
