Experiment name: DeSoto Eddy Intrusion Principal Investigator: T.Berger Affiliation: SAIC Mooring name: A2 Mooring position: 29.059 deg N, 88.390 deg W Instrument depth: 490 meters Seafloor depth: 500 meters Times: 1200 21 Mar 1997 to 0500 31 Mar 1999 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: General Oceanics MKII parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.02 6.35 48.17 5.19 739.75 dir (deg true) 0.02 195.29 359.95 87.93 739.75 u (cm/sec) -37.98 -1.38 40.94 6.13 739.75 v (cm/sec) -35.03 -1.67 25.03 5.00 739.75 temp (deg C) 6.09 8.32 11.81 0.76 739.75 salinity (PSU) 34.64 35.08 35.45 0.12 739.75 All series have long gaps that lie between successive deployments of the mooring, or where sensors failed. Salinity contains a gap in lines 9024 (1100 01 Apr 1998) through 14939 (2200 03 Dec 1998). u, v, and temperature contain a gap in lines 13588 (1500 08 Oct 1998) though 14939 (2200 03 Dec 1998). The first portion of the file (through line 13587) was recorded by a General Oceanics MKII current meter. The second portion (after line 14939) appears to have been recorded by an S4, though this is not certain.
