Experiment name: ACM8 (German component) Principal Investigator: J.Meincke, E.Mittelstaedt PI's affiliation: B.S.H.Hamburg Mooring Name: F2 Mooring position: 52.378 deg N, 16.362 deg W Instrument depth: 181 meters Seafloor depth: 3481 meters Times: starts 30 Aug 1992, ends 05 Aug 1993 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: RCM4 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.69 13.93 37.29 6.14 339.6 dir (deg true) 0.24 194.17 359.90 98.92 339.6 U (cm/sec) -30.50 -2.48 33.77 10.72 339.6 V (cm/sec) -37.22 -1.43 28.23 10.43 339.6 temp (deg C) 23.77 24.93 27.07 0.76 339.6 pressure (db) 66.62 90.62 226.88 27.72 339.6 The stated depth of this instrument, 181 meters, appears to have been calculated from the seafloor depth and mooring line lengths. However, the minimum recorded pressure is 67 db and the mean pressure is 91 db. Thus the instrument may have been shallower than 181 meters.
