Experiment name: SCM6 (ADOX) Principal Investigator: R.Dickson PI's affiliation: CEFAS Mooring Name: 9311 Mooring position: 47.755 deg S, 58.047 deg E Instrument depth: 2063 meters Seafloor depth: 4230 meters Times: starts 06 Mar 1993, ends 21 Mar 1994 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM7 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.40 5.67 25.59 4.03 379.8 dir (deg true) 0.00 158.78 359.83 81.66 379.8 u (cm/sec) -20.95 1.20 17.44 4.61 379.8 v (cm/sec) -24.31 -2.18 12.16 4.57 379.8 temp (deg C) 1.75 1.96 2.05 0.04 379.8 CEFAS's comment about this record's speed series: "Believed to be a good record, although 25% of all recorded speeds are at meter threshold. These are present throughout the series but are especially frequent during the following two periods: 0330 22 Apr 93 - 2130 3 May 93 (records 1115 to 1397) 1739 6 Mar 94 - 1039 21 Mar 94 (records 8761 to 9114) However, these times coincide with quiet periods in the series from the meter situated 103 m below; it may be that the threshold speed of the rotor on this meter is greater than normal and certainly more than that suggested by the calibration."
