Experiment name: ACM13 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: W.Zenk PI's affiliation: IFM Kiel Mooring Name: 357 Mooring position: 34.585 deg S, 27.057 deg W Instrument depth: 4233 meters Seafloor depth: 4485 meters Times: starts 15 Dec 1992, ends 29 May 1994 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.00 4.61 17.38 2.89 448.7 dir (deg true) 0.10 186.12 359.77 82.26 448.7 u (cm/sec) -9.85 -0.46 11.16 2.80 448.7 v (cm/sec) -17.38 -2.25 10.53 4.07 448.7 temp 1 (deg C) 1.13 1.32 1.52 0.06 530.6 temp 2 (deg C) 1.35 1.54 1.73 0.06 530.6 Speed and direction contain a gap that begins at line 1452 (0000 15 Apr 93) and ends at line 4067 (2200 19 Nov 93). In addition, both series end early, at line 5384 (1600 8 Mar 94). Approximately 7% of the speeds were at or below the current meter's threshold (1 cm/sec) and have been set to the threshold value. This record contains two temperature series, which have been designated temp 1 and temp 2. The resolution of temp 1 is better than that of temp 2, and its mean value is different. The PI suggests that both be made available and that the user make an independent judgement as to which series is more accurate.
