Experiment name: SCM7 Principal Investigator: E.Fahrbach PI's affiliation: Alfred Wegener Inst. Mooring Name: AWI208-3 Mooring position: 65.628 deg S, 36.490 deg W Instrument depth: 235 meters Seafloor depth: 4736 meters Times: starts 04 Jan 1993, ends 13 Mar 1995 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.00 2.24 11.21 1.57 798.2 dir (deg true) 0.30 217.69 358.40 101.00 798.2 u (cm/sec) -7.32 -1.00 11.11 2.02 798.2 v (cm/sec) -10.35 0.23 7.04 1.53 798.2 temp (deg C) -0.49 0.40 0.65 0.08 798.2 pressure (db) 231.20 233.28 266.20 0.74 798.2 salinity (psu) 34.37 34.82 34.95 0.05 798.2 Approximately 26% of the speeds in this record were below the current meter's threshold and have been set to zero. There is an odd episode on 31 May 94 in which all parameters except salinity experience large excursions that are not seen elsewhere in this record. Nor does anything unusual occur deeper on the mooring at this time. It is not clear whether these anomalies are artifacts caused by an instrument failure or genuine speeds, directions, etc.
