Experiment name: SCM6 (ADOX) Principal Investigator: R.Dickson PI's affiliation: CEFAS Mooring Name: 9312 Mooring position: 47.617 deg S, 56.807 deg E Instrument depth: 2726 meters Seafloor depth: 4353 meters Times: starts 07 Mar 1993, ends 16 Jan 1994 Time increment: 60 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM5 parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 1.50 5.91 19.79 3.69 315.0 dir (deg true) 0.00 166.20 359.90 104.93 315.0 u (cm/sec) -15.16 0.27 18.93 4.71 315.0 v (cm/sec) -19.76 -0.09 18.00 5.13 315.0 temp (deg C) 1.11 1.24 1.43 0.05 315.0 This current meter was not working when recovered. CEFAS notes that the record was of poor quality, with many instrument-generated spikes. (The mechanical encoder of an RCM5 sometimes adds powers of 2 or sums of powers of 2 to the correct value.) Approximately 300 anomalous direction values and 850 speed values were replaced by linear interpolation.
