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: 4725 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) 0.23 0.76 4.15 0.49 423.00 dir (deg true) 0.00 194.12 359.60 109.42 423.00 u (cm/sec) -3.17 0.18 4.09 0.65 423.00 v (cm/sec) -2.73 0.10 3.42 0.59 423.00 temp (deg C) -0.58 -0.54 -0.50 0.01 427.75 Speed and direction end a few days early, at line 5076 (1200 28 Nov 1990). As with other instruments on this mooring, speed often is below the rotor's threshold and direction is constant or nearly so at such times. Below threshold speeds have been set to 0.55 cm/sec (half the stall speed).
