Experiment name: ACM12 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: W.Zenk PI's affiliation: IFM-Kiel Mooring Name: VE/338 Mooring position: 31.137 deg S, 39.433 deg W Instrument depth: 2900 meters Seafloor depth: 4675 meters Times: starts 12 Jan 1991, ends 05 Dec 1992 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.99 4.56 22.89 3.97 694.0 dir (deg true) 0.00 178.90 359.82 82.80 694.0 u (cm/sec) -9.82 1.08 13.95 3.38 694.0 v (cm/sec) -22.03 -2.28 12.97 4.33 694.0 temp (deg C) 2.97 3.12 3.26 0.05 694.0 There are many, many linear interpolations in speed and direction, some of them quite long - apparently to remove bad data. A low-pass filtered version of this file would be more useful than the original. About 15% of the speeds were below the instrument's threshold, and have been set to 1 cm/sec.
