Experiment name: Greenland Sea Project Principal Investigator: K.Aagaard Affiliation: PMEL Mooring name: GS-2 Mooring position: 72.460 deg N, 8.183 deg W Instrument depth: 60 meters Seafloor depth: 2460 meters Times: 1000 24 Jun 1987 to 1900 14 Jun 1988 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.00 6.86 24.78 3.27 356.42 dir (deg true) 0.00 202.10 359.93 108.31 356.42 u (cm/sec) -20.61 -1.32 21.14 5.35 356.42 v (cm/sec) -23.78 0.75 20.60 5.19 356.42 temp (deg C) -1.90 -1.07 0.97 0.76 356.42 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 22 instances (or 0.3% of the time) in this file.
