Experiment name: FOCI Principal Investigator: unavailable Affiliation: PMEL Mooring name: 01gsp2a Mooring position: 52.268 deg N, 169.669 deg W Instrument depth: 1000 meters Seafloor depth: 2000 meters Times: 0705 21 May 2001 to 0305 11 Aug 2001 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.29 10.22 28.16 5.13 81.88 dir (deg true) 3.86 242.55 358.94 52.90 81.88 u (cm/sec) -26.76 -7.94 8.64 5.82 81.88 v (cm/sec) -24.08 -2.75 15.16 5.12 81.88 temp (deg C) 2.52 2.70 2.89 0.05 81.88 Pressure records from the other two current meters on this mooring show that the mooring slipped downslope about a day after it was deployed. The increase in depth was about 35 meters. Judging from those pressure records, this instrument may have been 100 to 150 meters deeper than its given depth of 1000 meters.
