Experiment name: AnSlope 2004-05 Principal Investigator: A.L.Gordon/A.Orsi/R.D.Pillsbury Affiliation: LDEO/TAMU/OSU Mooring name: M-5 Mooring position: 71.907 deg S, 172.922 deg E Instrument depth: 1049 meters Seafloor depth: 1749 meters Times: 0630 09 Mar 2004 to 0530 03 Feb 2005 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM8s parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.92 20.42 70.40 12.85 330.98 dir (deg true) 0.00 162.98 359.74 110.12 330.98 u (cm/sec) -53.49 1.65 48.45 12.30 330.98 v (cm/sec) -67.89 -0.46 61.39 20.69 330.98 temp (deg C) 0.20 0.70 1.16 0.09 330.98 pressure (db) 1054.80 1074.81 1200.60 12.64 330.98 The depth of this instrument appears to have increased by about 7 meters after 6 Jan 05. The same increase can be seen in records from other instruments on this mooring that carried pressure sensors. There are also indications that the depth decreased by a few meters during the initial several days; but this could be due to line stretch.
