Principal Investigator: J.Church PI's affiliation: CSIRO Mooring Name: Tas913 Mooring position: 30.057 deg S, 153.562 deg E Instrument depth: 50 meters Seafloor depth: 700 meters Times: starts 17 Nov 1991, ends 27 May 1992 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa Meter RCM4 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.70 65.46 162.70 41.31 190.9 dir (deg true) 0.08 232.71 357.01 53.08 190.9 u (cm/sec) -149.46 -55.31 57.72 42.83 190.9 v (cm/sec) -101.70 -23.86 28.55 22.99 190.9 temp (deg C) 15.02 19.26 24.29 1.96 192.4 pressure (db) 87.00 99.77 146.00 15.16 192.4 The nominal depth of this instrument is given as 50 meters. However, the pressure record indicates that the actual depth of the instrument was closer to 90 meters. This is confirmed by pressure records from the instruments below this one on the mooring, which also indicate depths about 40 meters greater than the given depths. Speed and direction begin one data cycle later (1 hour) than temperature and pressure, and end at line 4583 (0100 20 May 92) - 35 hours earlier than temperature and pressure.
