Experiment name: SCM7 Principal Investigator: E.Fahrbach PI's affiliation: Alfred Wegener Inst. Mooring Name: AWI207-2 Mooring position: 63.752 deg S, 50.905 deg W Instrument depth: 1010 meters Seafloor depth: 2460 meters Times: starts 23 Nov 1990, ends 08 Nov 1992 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.00 4.07 17.43 3.08 716.5 dir (deg true) 1.90 194.77 359.80 106.46 716.5 u (cm/sec) -15.16 -0.30 15.14 3.59 716.5 v (cm/sec) -13.44 0.84 14.56 3.52 716.5 temp (deg C) 0.24 0.36 0.51 0.03 716.5 pressure (db) 1010.40 1026.02 1074.60 9.32 716.5 salinity (psu) 34.73 34.78 34.83 0.02 716.5 There are many short interpolations in speed lasting a few hours (e.g., 17, 18 Oct 91, 13 Mar 92). There is a gap in all variables during 6 - 11 May 92. The gap begins at line 6366 and ends at line 6420. The pressure record shows a sudden increase of about 60 db on 29 Jun 91. The pressure then decreases and settles at a value approximately 20 db greater than the previous average. A similar depth excursion is evident in the pressure record from the instrument above this one on the mooring, at 300 meters. The cause is unknown; the mooring may have been dragged and then released in slightly deeper water.
