Experiment name: AWI Antarctic moorings Principal Investigator: E.Fahrbach Affiliation: Alfred Wegener Inst. Mooring name: AWI206-3 Mooring position: 63.490 deg S, 52.097 deg W Instrument depth: 280 meters Seafloor depth: 967 meters Times: 1500 11 Jan 1993 to 0600 27 Jan 1995 Time increment: 180 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.55 7.67 18.66 4.19 745.75 dir (deg true) 0.07 179.95 359.76 123.71 745.75 u (cm/sec) -18.18 0.80 18.46 5.58 745.75 v (cm/sec) -15.66 2.98 18.58 5.98 745.75 temp (deg C) -1.79 -1.04 -0.00 0.39 745.75 pressure (db) 278.00 281.48 318.40 2.97 745.75 The speed series appears to contain some wrap-arounds. These are instances in which the speed rotor's turn count has exceeded 1023 and has reset to 0, thus registering as a much lower speed than it should. Wrap arounds are quite hard to identify in a record with a 3-hour interval, and we have not attempted to do so in this case. Use this speed record with caution.
