Experiment name: SCM2 Principal Investigator: E.Fahrbach Affiliation: Alfred Wegener Inst. Mooring name: AWI231-3 Mooring position: 66.499 deg S, 0.016 deg W Instrument depth: 330 meters Seafloor depth: 4500 meters Times: 0200 19 Jan 1999 to 0945 15 Aug 1999 Time increment: 15 minutes Instrument type: MicroCAT parameter min mean max stddev days temp (deg C) 0.68 1.04 1.21 0.08 208.33 pressure (db) 329.60 330.63 438.40 1.38 208.33 salinity (psu) 34.58 34.70 34.75 0.01 208.33 Salinity ends early in this file, at line 15387 (0830 28 Jun 99).The pressure record contains an anomalous incident on 10 Jul 99 in which the instrument apparently plunged over 100 m over 3 hours. Temperature decreases somewhat during the incident, but nothing similar is seen in the pressure record from the current meter at the top of the mooring.
