Experiment name: ACM11 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: H.Mercier PI's affiliation: Lab Phys des Oceans Mooring Name: C3 Mooring position: 0.915 deg S, 13.508 deg W Instrument depth: 3950 meters Seafloor depth: 4425 meters Times: starts 20 Nov 1992, ends 03 Nov 1994 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.94 13.82 28.11 3.88 712.5 dir (deg true) 16.52 84.07 208.81 13.44 712.5 u (cm/sec) -2.28 13.41 27.68 3.89 712.5 v (cm/sec) -10.74 1.46 11.77 2.99 712.5 temp (deg C) 1.81 2.10 2.32 0.07 712.5 pressure (db) 3942.91 3995.18 4052.64 17.69 712.5 As with many of the other RCM8s used in this experiment, the pressure sensor appears to have been affected by temperature. For most of the record the pressure trace follows the temperature trace closely. We believe that while the mean pressure may be correct, the variations are due to temperature rather than pressure. Use these data with caution.
