Experiment name: NPEO Principal Investigator: K.Aagaard Affiliation: U of Washington Mooring name: NP 2003-04 Mooring position: 89.389 deg N, 46.119 deg E Instrument depth: 90 meters Seafloor depth: 4301 meters Times: 0100 26 Apr 2003 to 1109 18 Apr 2004 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM7 parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.80 2.49 13.60 2.06 358.46 dir (deg true) 0.20 147.17 359.80 92.49 358.46 u (cm/sec) -6.87 1.00 12.13 2.27 358.46 v (cm/sec) -10.00 -0.17 7.20 2.07 358.46 temp (deg C) -1.78 -1.65 -1.52 0.06 358.46 pressure (db) 93.60 94.08 97.30 0.37 358.46 Approximately 39.7% of the speeds were at or below the instrument's stall speed, which is 0.8 cm/sec. These speeds have been recorded as 0.8 cm/sec. The pressure record from this instrument and some of the others on this mooring indicate that the mooring may have settled about 1/2 meter deeper during the first few hours.
