Experiment name: ACM24 (Deep Basin) Principal Investigator: G.Weatherly PI's affiliation: FSU Mooring Name: Mooring 6 Mooring position: 18.287 deg S, 33.923 deg W Instrument depth: 1800 meters Seafloor depth: 4372 meters Times: starts 29 Sep 1993, ends 23 Mar 1995 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: modified Geodyne 101 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.96 6.56 40.23 4.84 539.8 dir (deg true) 0.00 194.02 359.93 101.68 539.8 u (cm/sec) -39.12 -1.37 18.44 6.31 539.8 v (cm/sec) -18.59 0.21 21.03 4.97 539.8 temp (deg C) 3.31 3.54 3.80 0.09 539.8 pressure (db) 2048.80 2067.62 2191.00 9.35 539.8 Approximately 9% of the speeds in this record were at or below the instrument's 2 cm/sec threshold, and have been set to 2 cm/sec. The nominal depth of this current meter (the depth provided by the PI) is 1800 m. However, the minimum pressure recorded by the instrument, 2048.8 db, corresponds to a depth of about 2024 m. If this pressure is correct, the depths of some of the other current meters on this mooring should be adjusted accordingly.
