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: 550 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 9.83 45.57 8.14 692.0 dir (deg true) 0.00 202.04 359.83 99.19 692.0 u (cm/sec) -36.81 -1.16 39.86 10.07 692.0 v (cm/sec) -30.41 0.37 31.06 7.73 692.0 temp (deg C) 4.09 10.33 12.47 1.04 692.0 Approximately 18% of the speeds in this record were at or below the instrument's threshold. These speeds have been set to 1 cm/sec. Blowover of this mooring was substantial. Several large dips in temperature can be related to blowover (see the pressure record from the instrument above this one on the mooring). The mooring appears to have slipped downslope and settled about 35 meters deeper during a high-speed event at the end of February 1991.
