Experiment name: Greenland Sea Project Principal Investigator: K.Aagaard Affiliation: PMEL Mooring name: GS-1 Mooring position: 71.928 deg N, 8.362 deg W Instrument depth: 74 meters Seafloor depth: 2424 meters Times: 0000 25 Jun 1987 to 0800 13 Sep 1987 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.00 2.34 9.15 1.81 80.38 dir (deg true) 0.00 127.22 359.93 113.18 80.38 u (cm/sec) -7.55 0.10 7.76 2.16 80.38 v (cm/sec) -9.06 -0.26 6.32 2.01 80.38 temp (deg C) -1.27 -0.62 0.57 0.37 80.38 The originator of this record has set u and v equal to zero in cases where the current speed was less than the instrument's stall speed. Since speed and direction were not supplied, we have no way of estimating direction when u and v both are zero. Here we have arbitrarily set direction to zero when u and v are zero. This condition occurs in 337 instances (or 17.5% of the time) in this file.
