Experiment name: ACM12 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: W.Zenk PI's affiliation: IFM-Kiel Mooring Name: BE/335 Mooring position: 28.269 deg S, 45.225 deg W Instrument depth: 280 meters Seafloor depth: 3258 meters Times: starts 04 Jan 1991, ends 25 Nov 1992 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.99 15.65 58.64 10.00 692.0 dir (deg true) 0.00 198.69 359.80 103.99 692.0 u (cm/sec) -54.75 -1.30 49.02 14.35 692.0 v (cm/sec) -46.29 1.24 49.56 11.65 692.0 temp (deg C) 5.40 15.15 18.44 1.26 692.0 pressure (db) 241.80 301.11 705.60 48.87 692.0 Blowover of this mooring was substantial. In this record the greatest depth excursion was at the end of February 91, when pressure increased by more than 500 db and the pressure sensor went offscale. Recorded temperatures decreased by about 10 degrees during this episode. The mooring appears to have slipped downslope at this time, because the pressures were about 35 db greater afterward.
