Experiment name: ACM11 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: H.Mercier PI's affiliation: Lab Phys des Oceans Mooring Name: R4 Mooring position: 0.663 deg N, 14.763 deg W Instrument depth: 1700 meters Seafloor depth: 4325 meters Times: starts 18 Nov 1992, ends 01 Nov 1994 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 2.10 6.98 39.00 4.78 712.4 dir (deg true) 0.46 212.10 359.77 88.86 712.4 u (cm/sec) -38.95 -2.41 20.32 7.24 712.4 v (cm/sec) -29.30 -0.42 14.33 3.63 712.4 temp (deg C) 3.75 3.95 4.14 0.05 712.4 pressure (db) 1708.27 1714.68 1715.01 1.30 712.4 The speed threshold for this record appears to be 2.1 cm/sec. Some 25% of the speeds have this value, indicating that a quarter of the in situ speeds were at or below 2.1 cm/sec. The record contains increasingly many of these threshold speeds after mid-July 1993. The longest episode is more than 4 months in length (20 Dec 93 to 26 Mar 94).
