Experiment name: Australian Coastal Exp Principal Investigator: J.Church Affiliation: CSIRO Mooring name: SP 2 Mooring position: 34.380 deg S, 151.300 deg E Instrument depth: 87 meters Seafloor depth: 220 meters Times: 0700 08 Sep 1983 to 0200 10 Mar 1984 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.22 31.11 99.86 25.63 183.83 dir (deg true) 0.00 192.83 359.20 76.55 183.83 u (cm/sec) -77.99 -12.05 26.46 15.74 183.83 v (cm/sec) -96.39 -21.63 34.65 27.64 183.83 temp (deg C) 12.81 16.38 19.99 1.73 183.83 This record contains four episodes where the speed sensor appears to have gone offscale at speeds near 100 cm/sec. (The RCM5's sensors record numbers in the range 0 - 1023; a speed above this range would wrap around to a low value. u and v look quite reasonable during these times but speed clearly shows interpolations. The four episodes are in lines 3371 through 3481 (1700 26 Jan 84 - 0700 31 Jan 84) 3666 through 3694 (0000 08 Feb 84 - 0400 09 Feb 84) 3784 through 3814 (2200 12 Feb 84 - 0400 14 Feb 84) 3847 through 3873 (1300 15 feb 84 - 1500 16 Feb 84) Use these portions of the record with caution.
