Experiment name: Vents 97 Principal Investigator: unavailable Affiliation: PMEL Mooring name: 97V102 Mooring position: 44.679 deg N, 130.350 deg W Instrument depth: 2059 meters Seafloor depth: 2221 meters Times: 2100 28 Sep 1997 to 0100 01 Aug 1998 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.00 5.26 15.01 2.44 125.71 dir (deg true) 0.00 171.55 359.90 105.06 125.71 u (cm/sec) -10.66 0.01 11.39 3.53 125.71 v (cm/sec) -13.67 -0.39 13.50 4.59 125.71 temp (deg C) 1.85 1.89 1.92 0.01 306.21 This instrument's speed sensor failed after about 4 months. The last good speed is at line 3017 (1300 01 Feb 98). There are a few short episodes of zero speed before that point that probably are indicative of a failing sensor. Because we received the VENTS files in NODC's unfortunate F015 format, which contains just the u and v current components, we have no independent information about current direction. Hence direction also ends at line 3017.
