Experiment name: NC Field Principal Investigator: J.O.Blanton Affiliation: US Minerals Mngmnt Svc Mooring name: A2 Mooring position: 36.245 deg N, 75.207 deg W Instrument depth: 30 meters Seafloor depth: 35 meters Times: 0100 01 May 1992 to 1300 13 Feb 1994 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: General Oceanics parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.00 15.85 99.30 11.20 653.54 dir (deg true) 0.00 197.99 359.89 93.31 653.54 u (cm/sec) -37.01 0.79 79.74 11.37 653.54 v (cm/sec) -94.70 -3.90 47.95 15.22 653.54 temp (deg C) 5.41 11.71 23.13 3.84 653.54 salinity (PSU) 30.19 34.62 38.10 1.46 653.54 The salinity series contains short gaps on 22 Aug 92, 14 Feb 93, 22 Aug 93, and 31 Oct 93. The gaps occur where salinity shows an unrealistically large increase or decrease between succesive deployments of the mooring. We think this may be due to uncalibrated or drifting sensors. We have not bridged these gaps.
