Experiment name: FOCI Principal Investigator: unavailable Affiliation: PMEL Mooring name: 01gsp2a Mooring position: 52.268 deg N, 169.669 deg W Instrument depth: 505 meters Seafloor depth: 2000 meters Times: 0704 21 May 2001 to 1404 29 Aug 2001 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 1.17 24.72 59.25 8.61 100.33 dir (deg true) 144.11 245.87 334.32 30.75 100.33 u (cm/sec) -59.24 -19.97 7.74 9.94 100.33 v (cm/sec) -39.58 -8.07 29.80 11.06 100.33 temp (deg C) 3.28 3.57 3.91 0.10 100.33 pressure (db) 592.07 626.52 649.93 5.09 100.33 The pressure record shows that this mooring slipped downslope about a day after it was deployed. The increase in depth was about 35 meters. The pressure record from the deepest instrument on the mooring also shows that the mooring moved. Both pressure records indicate that the instruments were significantly deeper than their nominal depths.
