Experiment name: SCM7 Principal Investigator: E.Fahrbach PI's affiliation: Alfred Wegener Inst. Mooring Name: AWI208 Mooring position: 65.605 deg S, 36.498 deg W Instrument depth: 288 meters Seafloor depth: 4742 meters Times: starts 24 Sep 1989, ends 29 Nov 1990 Time increment: 120 minutes Instrument type: Aanderaa RCM parameter min mean max sd days speed (cm/sec) 0.00 0.92 6.04 1.25 430.7 dir (deg true) 0.50 209.35 358.50 89.75 430.7 u (cm/sec) -5.10 -0.30 5.33 1.05 430.7 v (cm/sec) -3.81 -0.01 5.55 1.11 430.7 temp (deg C) -0.10 0.35 0.49 0.05 430.7 pressure (db) 275.90 276.47 278.20 0.46 430.7 salinity (psu) 34.70 34.83 34.98 0.03 430.7 Approximately 52% of the speeds in this record were below the current meter's threshold and have been set to zero. There are many other instances in which below-threshold speeds appear to have been interpolated to values between the threshold (probably about 1.5 cm/sec) and zero.
