Experiment name: GMPO Principal Investigator: unavailable Affiliation: SAIC Mooring name: FF Mooring position: 26.740 deg N, 91.995 deg W Instrument depth: 1650 meters Seafloor depth: 1750 meters Times: 0130 06 Apr 1987 to 1730 20 Sep 1988 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.97 3.51 12.51 1.89 533.69 dir (deg true) 1.69 182.99 358.64 100.25 533.69 u (cm/sec) -9.79 -0.01 12.50 3.07 533.69 v (cm/sec) -7.91 -0.15 8.21 2.53 533.69 temp (deg C) 4.13 4.17 4.27 0.01 533.69 The initial 217 days of speed and direction were not credible and have been removed. The first good speed is at line 10414 (0000 09 Nov 1987). Of the remaining speeds, about 27% 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 6 Apr 1987 to 8 Nov 1987, and the second from 9 Nov 1987 to 20 Sep 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.
