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: 2554 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 5.70 26.39 4.70 692.0 dir (deg true) 0.00 234.97 359.83 76.42 692.0 u (cm/sec) -16.00 -2.36 12.06 3.71 692.0 v (cm/sec) -22.58 -1.43 16.40 5.76 692.0 temp (deg C) 2.99 3.20 3.38 0.06 692.0 Approximately 30% of the speeds in this record were below the current meter's threshold, and have been set to 1 cm/sec. The mooring appears to have slipped downslope and settled about 35 meters deeper during a high-speed event at the end of February 1991.
