Experiment name: INDEX Principal Investigator: J.R.Luyten PI's affiliation: WHOI Mooring Name: WHOI 665 Mooring position: 0.005 deg S, 52.463 deg E Instrument depth: 188 meters Seafloor depth: 4994 meters Times: starts 20 Apr 1979, ends 19 Jun 1979 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: VACM parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.48 14.64 38.74 6.96 60.8 dir (deg true) 0.01 253.41 359.46 61.38 60.8 u (cm/sec) -36.04 -9.66 7.83 6.55 60.8 v (cm/sec) -27.81 -1.99 30.53 11.08 60.8 temp (deg C) 12.12 13.23 14.41 0.39 60.8 pressure (db) 214.87 217.68 239.88 2.06 60.8 The given depth of the instrument that recorded these data is 188 meters. This is not consistant with the minimum recorded pressure, which is about 215 decibars. The pressure record shows a sudden, temporary depth increase of about 25 meters on 6 June 79. The temperature also becomes colder at this point. The mooring may have been disturbed.
