Summer 2000 southern current meter mooring

Meter depths:

#   m above bottom      actual pressure depth [m]
---------------------------------------------
1:	 50 m		2142
2: 	100 m		2092
3: 	150 m		2042
4: 	200 m		1992
5: 	250 m		1942

From Rick Thomson:

DGPS position: 47deg 56.281min North, 129deg 05.886min West
Uncorrected sounder depth at deployment = 2174 m
Instruments record u,v,T,P but not S because of leaks in the conductivity sensors.

To be recovered in early October 2000.

Other sources of current information:

1. Rick Thomson's WASP mooring (~1km N of MEF)
2. Meg Tivey MAVS ~50m N of SandM
3. Paul Johnson's and Susan Hautala's near-bottom meters
4. Submersible observations:
   • Meg: Observed currents bending syntactic foam float atop structure on 3' line bent over to ~45 degrees. Also saw duct tape streaming horizontally in MEF vicinity.
   • Marv: Primarily N-S currents during perturbed cruise. Recalls seeing E current (in MEF?) once... Also mentioned seeing N currents blowing high-T black smoker to the ground just N of S&M last year.
