Experiment name: SCM4 (WAB95) Principal Investigator: T.McDougall PI's affiliation: CSIRO Marine Research Mooring Name: Mooring 5 Mooring position: 33.003 deg S, 104.243 deg E Instrument depth: 3200 meters Seafloor depth: 5491 meters Times: starts 01 Jul 1995, ends 27 Aug 1996 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.50 3.55 10.80 2.16 423.3 dir (deg true) 0.00 131.07 359.05 83.93 423.3 u (cm/sec) -8.59 1.93 10.69 2.84 423.3 v (cm/sec) -9.89 -0.35 10.64 2.32 423.3 temp (deg C) 1.29 1.39 1.46 0.03 423.3 pressure (db) 3362.30 3364.46 3390.30 3.72 423.3 Approximately 38% of the speeds recorded by this current meter were at or below the instrument's threshold (1.5 cm/sec) and have been set to the threshold value. The minimum pressure registered by this instrument (3362 db) corresponds to a depth of about 3312 m, which is significantly deeper than the stated depth of 3200 m.
