Experiment name: ACM8 (Denmark Str Ovfl) Principal Investigator: R.Dickson PI's affiliation: MAFF Mooring Name: 8707 Mooring position: 62.640 deg N, 34.507 deg W Instrument depth: 2032 meters Seafloor depth: 2835 meters Times: starts 28 Jun 1987, ends 30 Jun 1988 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.49 5.83 18.30 2.86 367.7 dir (deg true) 0.07 202.20 359.82 96.04 367.7 U (cm/sec) -18.21 -1.83 13.43 4.93 367.7 V (cm/sec) -11.77 -0.01 13.62 3.81 367.7 temp (deg C) 3.24 3.36 3.45 0.03 367.7 MAFF notes that the middle portion of this record was noisy and could not be used. That portion (lines 2825 through 4278) is not included here. The succeeding portion (lines 4279 through 8825) contains a relatively large number of below threshhold speeds. According to the recovery log, the current meter's rotor was slightly stiff on recovery, which may account for the low speeds.
