Experiment name: Greenland Sea Project Principal Investigator: K.Aagaard Affiliation: PMEL Mooring name: GSP-3 Mooring position: 73.829 deg N, 4.834 deg W Instrument depth: 1503 meters Seafloor depth: 3570 meters Times: 1900 19 May 1989 to 0100 13 Jul 1990 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.00 2.34 13.96 3.01 419.29 dir (deg true) 0.00 66.78 359.52 79.24 419.29 u (cm/sec) -9.58 1.52 12.56 2.93 419.29 v (cm/sec) -9.62 -0.50 10.49 1.83 419.29 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 approximately 46% of the time in this file.
