Experiment name: AWI Antarctic moorings Principal Investigator: E.Fahrbach Affiliation: Alfred Wegener Inst. Mooring name: AWI209 Mooring position: 66.613 deg S, 27.123 deg W Instrument depth: 293 meters Seafloor depth: 4863 meters Times: 1400 01 Oct 1989 to 0600 03 Dec 1990 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max stddev days speed (cm/sec) 0.55 1.59 10.69 1.53 427.75 dir (deg true) 0.00 197.79 359.66 98.62 427.75 u (cm/sec) -10.02 -0.35 5.46 1.57 427.75 v (cm/sec) -6.59 0.06 8.65 1.51 427.75 temp (deg C) 0.16 0.46 0.56 0.05 427.75 pressure (db) 281.20 283.48 435.40 8.71 427.75 The speed series contains many long episodes during which current speed appears to have been below the instrument's stall speed. We have set speed to 0.55 cm/sec (half the stall speed) in these in instances.
