Experiment name: ACM12 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: W.Zenk PI's affiliation: IFM-Kiel Mooring Name: BM/334 Mooring position: 27.985 deg S, 46.338 deg W Instrument depth: 280 meters Seafloor depth: 2187 meters Times: starts 03 Jan 1991, ends 26 Nov 1992 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.99 17.51 62.72 11.52 693.8 dir (deg true) 0.10 213.33 359.45 66.21 693.8 u (cm/sec) -59.05 -6.05 56.81 12.45 693.8 v (cm/sec) -52.79 -8.37 47.03 13.32 693.8 temp (deg C) 4.72 15.28 18.82 1.96 693.8 pressure (db) 242.20 323.65 1040.80 88.66 693.8 Blowover of this mooring was substantial, apparently due to failure of some of the buoyancy elements. Blowover was greatest on 30 Mar 91, when the pressure sensor recorded a value of 1024.7 db (which places the current meter nearly 800 meters deeper than its nominal depth). Approximately 17% of the speeds in this record were at or below the instrument's threshold. These speeds have been set to 1 cm/sec.
