Mooring Data
Temperature,
Salinity, and Current time series
Plotted here are time series from two instruments
mounted on the 2002-2003 mooring. At a nominal 110 meters, a Seabird
Electronics SBE-16 recorded temperature, conductivity, and pressure,
the combination enabling the salinity to be calculated. And at
a nominal 84 meters depth, an Aanderaa RCM-7 current meter recorded
the vector-averaged current. The mooring is not rigid, and there
are instances when a particularly strong current pulled down the
mooring to make the depths of each instrument deeper than design.
