Experiment name: GMPO Principal Investigator: unavailable Affiliation: SAIC Mooring name: EE Mooring position: 27.468 deg N, 91.993 deg W Instrument depth: 725 meters Seafloor depth: 845 meters Times: 1730 05 Apr 1987 to 1900 31 Oct 1988 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 1.43 6.51 31.93 4.62 575.08 dir (deg true) 2.03 218.04 358.64 78.72 575.08 u (cm/sec) -28.54 -4.17 11.87 5.58 575.08 v (cm/sec) -17.56 -1.77 9.41 3.47 575.08 temp (deg C) 5.62 6.16 6.93 0.22 575.08 The initial 216.6 days of speed and direction were not credible and have been removed. The first good speed is at line 10396 (0700 08 Nov 1987). Of the remaining speeds, about 21% were at or below the instrument's threshold and have been recorded as 1.5 cm/sec (the threshold value). We believe this file was pieced together from two distinct records made at the same depth, the first of which ran from 5 Apr 1987 to 7 Nov 1987, and the second from 8 Nov 1987 to 31 Oct 1988. The second current meter was an Aanderaa RCM which provided good data and the first was some other type of instrument whose temperatures were reasonable (and have been retained) but whose speed and direction were extremely noisy and of little value.
