Experiment name: ACM13 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: W.Zenk PI's affiliation: IFM Kiel Mooring Name: 363 Mooring position: 31.618 deg S, 28.810 deg W Instrument depth: 3705 meters Seafloor depth: 3720 meters Times: starts 16 Dec 1992, ends 26 May 1994 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.00 3.91 24.35 3.18 525.7 dir (deg true) 0.10 166.21 359.77 94.28 525.7 u (cm/sec) -13.24 1.21 23.03 3.64 525.7 v (cm/sec) -19.37 -0.22 14.91 3.26 525.7 temp 1 (deg C) 0.81 1.14 1.46 0.10 525.7 temp 2 (deg C) 1.22 1.54 1.85 0.10 525.7 salinity (ppt) 34.64 34.81 34.95 0.06 525.7 Approximately 14% 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.
