Experiment name: SCM2 Principal Investigator: E.Fahrbach PI's affiliation: Alfred Wegener Inst. Mooring Name: BO1 Mooring position: 54.338 deg S, 3.377 deg W Instrument depth: 2300 meters Seafloor depth: 2734 meters Times: starts 23 Dec 1990, ends 08 Jan 1992 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.00 1.75 13.01 2.29 381.1 dir (deg true) 0.30 165.26 359.90 108.20 381.1 u (cm/sec) -9.77 0.13 11.02 2.36 381.1 v (cm/sec) -6.71 0.20 9.74 1.63 381.1 temp (deg C) 0.20 0.33 0.43 0.04 381.1 pressure (db) 2236.00 2303.16 2901.20 66.63 381.1 salinity (psu) 33.93 34.53 34.76 0.10 381.1 The pressure record contains some excursions to much greater depths during the first month that are not correlated with speed or temperature changes. They appear to represent sensor errors rather than blowover. Approximately 51% of this record's speeds have been set to zero. These probably are below-threshhold speeds in the raw data. A further 6% of the speeds are less than 1.5 cm/sec and appear to represent interpolations.
