ABSTRACT Internally recording instruments were installed in the Drake Passage in January 1979 and recovered in January 1980. Additional instruments were installed at this time for the first experiment in the Pilot Ocean Monitoring Experiment. These are to be recovered in March of 1981. The array consisted of seventy current meters on twenty-four moorings. In addition there were twenty-eight temperture/pressure recorders and four thermistor chains installed on these same moorings. The data were taken at one hour intervals. In this report, some of the current meter measurements are summarized through pertinent statistics, progressive vector diagrams, real time plots, stick figures, rotary spectra, and conventional power spectra. 1 Introduction DRAKE 79 was the major experiment of the International Southern Ocean Studies (ISOS) program. It followed of preparatory experiments called FDRAKE, a series and like them was designed to study circulation and transport processes in the region of the Drake Passage. FDRAKE began in January of 1975 with extensive hydrographic and chemical data collection (Anon., 1976 and Nowlin et al., 1977) supplemented by an array of both short and long term current meter moorings (Pillsbury et al., 1976, 1977). This experiment was continued in January of 1976 (FDRAKE 76) with the collection of additional hydrographic data and the setting of a second long term current meter array by the R/V T. G. THOMPSON. The current meter array was recovered by the R/V MELVILLE in January of 1977 as a part of FDRAKE 77 (Sciremammano et al., 1978). The R/V MELVILLE deployed a cluster array in January 1977 which was recovered on the AGS YELCHO in December 1977. set at that time and recovered A single mooring, Yelcho, was by the R/V MELVILE in January The data from the cluster array and the Yelcho mooring 1979. are presented in Pillsbury et al., 1980. DRAKE 79 was designed to study the time and space scales of flow variations near the Drake Passage, and to expand our knowledge of the distribution of water mass properties and their dynamics in this important region of the world's ocean. In this report a compilation of the data from some of 2 the DRAKE 79 current meters is presented. The data from the thermistor chains, temperature/pressure recorders, conductivity cells on the Aanderaa meters and remaining current meters will be presented in a data report to be issued by Texas A&M University. The complementary hydrographic data are presented in a report (Worley and Nowlin, 1979). The hydrographic data from the recovery cruise aboard the R/V ATLANTIS II will be in a data report to be issued by Texas A&M University. The pressure measurements made to complement the hydrographic and current meter data will be presented in a report to be issued by the University of Washington. The Current Meter Program Figure 1 shows the Main Line (ML) array consisting of 48 current meters on 17 moorings; and the Mapping and Statistics (MS) array with 22 current meters on 7 moorings deployed upstream in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Figures 2 and 3 show the duration of data for each meter. The data from the ML array report. are presented in Part A of this The data from the MS array are presented in Part B. The general calibration techniques for the Aanderaa meters used have been previously discussed (Pillsbury et al., 1974, 1980). All of the current meter moorings were subsurface, taut-wire moorings. Their design followed in large part the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution intermediate mooring 3 Figure 1, The configuration of the cureent installed in the Drake Passage in 19790 7 0° 65° W DRAKE 79 54° S 56° 58° 60° O PRESSURE GAUGE MOORING 0 CURRENT METER MOORING 0 Aonderoo 6 2° A current meter Geodyne current meter Temperature /pressure recorder meter moorings installed 60° 11 / //////rLY/////////// I HHH H/////4 //!/H///////////rd / WIMMIAMAWMAWIMIZIN V14 /.NO-"4 %%%%%%%% " VIIAI MIA W6 W/0.0 AM// 1 W1114 ROWANWMAMW 11 H/// ii u MOM / / / // / / / / / / // /H/ / 1 D ' /H H// //////.

Description of the Processed Data Data from each installation are presented separately. The header page gives information about the mooring location, instrumentation, data interval and a statement describing the kind of data collected at that point and the quality of the record. For a discussion of the depths assigned to the meters see the appendix. Each meter has a serial number assigned to it by the manufacturer. Each successive tape recorded by that machine is numbered with the serial number and the tape number. Thus, 485/10 indicates the tenth tape recorded by machine 485. The table of statistics following the header page gives the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, maximum value, minimum value and the number of hourly values of the record length for each variable measured. U is the true east-west velocity component and V is the true north-south velocity component. Progressive vector diagrams, real time plots, stick figure plots, rotary spectra, and conventional power spectra follow the table of statistics. Data were taken every hour. Plots which show each point are too long to be easily included in this report. To reduce the plots and still present the important low frequency fluctuations, the data were filtered with a 60 + 1 + 60 point, Cosine Lanczos filter with a half-amplitude at 34.3 hours and a half-power The data were then resampled at 6 hour at 40 hours. intervals. This filter was designed to remove both tidal and inertial oscillations. The conventional power spectra are calculated from unfiltered data.

In later experiments the addition of pressure sensors to some of the meters allowed the depths to be based on pressure data. At no time in the series of experiments, including DRAKE 79 were all of the meters equipped with pressure sensors. In the present report almost all of the instrument depths are based either directly or indirectly on pressure data. Some of the current meters contained on-board pressure sensors which allowed direct estimation of instrument depth. The depths of other meters were estimated by extrapolating upward or downward from elsewhere on the mooring. pressure sensors The depths given here are average depths obtained by averaging over the record length, and reflect depth variations caused by mooring blow-over. Depth was calculated from pressure using the formula: z(m) = 0.99481 p (decibars) which assumes an ocean of constant density equal to 1.025 g cm3. It has been pointed out that this shallow-water formula overestimates depth in the deep ocean. A better estimate is given by using a formula obtained from Professor 213 J. L. Reid at Scripps (T. Whitworth, personal communication): z(m) = (0.992446)P - (2.28717x10-6)P2 + (2.08213x10-11)P3 It is based on a world ocean average density profile. Investigators at Texas A & M noted discrepancies between the depths calculated with our simple formula and those obtained from T/P recorders on the same moorings. The following table summarizes the findings of TAMU (W. D. Nowlin, Jr. and T. Whitworth, III, personal communication) and is our best estimate of the actual meter depths. calculated using Reid's formula. These depths are Employing actual density data obtained in the Drake Passage rather than Reid's formula makes a meter or two change from these depths. 214 Mooring Instrument Design Pressure depth minimum Depth minimum Difference meters meters decihars 200 500 245 550 243 545 43 45 200 500 2500 3200 3665 327 598 2678 324 592 2641 124 200 500 2500 3700 187 478 2574 186 474 2540 -14 -26 40 T/P 200 CM 2500 3780 323 2635 320 2600 120 100 389 688 386 682 186 182 meters ---------------------------------------------------------------------ML-8 T/P CM ML-9 T/P CM CM GEODYNE ANCHOR ML-10 T/P CM CM ANCHOR ML-11 ANCHOR ST T/P CM T/P 800 987 977 177 T/P 1200 1600 1403 1807 1388 1786 188 186 T/P CM ANCHOR 2000 2500 3070 2714 2677 177 T/P 200 203 201 CM 500 508 504 4 ANCHOR 995 T/P CM 200 500 375 685 CM 1200 1386 372 679 1371 CM 2500 2697 2660 172 179 171 160 CM SS-1000 MS-1 ANCHOR MS-2 MS-3 200 500 92 141 3610 T/P 200 498 494 CM CM CM 798 1489 2697 791 1371 2660 160 ANCHOR 500 1200 2500 3000 T/P 200 329 326 126 CM 500 3450 638 632 132 ANCHOR 294 291 171 215 Mooring Instrument Design Pressure depth meters minimum decibars Depth minimum meters Difference meters ---------------------------------------------------------------------MS-5 T/P 200 500 1200 2500 3300 3780 423 727 1444 2750 419 720 1428 2712 219 220 228 212 CM CM 200 500 1200 408 801 1401 405 793 1386 205 293 186 CM ANCHOR 2500 2580 T/P CM CM CM 200 500 1200 2500 3630 205 513 1206 203 509 1194 3 CM CM CM GEODYNE ANCHOR MS-6 MS-7 T/P ANCHOR 9 -6 Mooring Instrument Design Difference meters Pressure minimum decibars Depth minimum meters 200 500 578 197 532 195 527 -5 200 350 500 1000 223 370 527 221 366 522 21 16 22 200 500 800 900 261 597 910 997 1328 1635 1885 259 591 901 987 1313 1616 59 91 1862 113 116 112 2641 2605 105 184 183 -17 2557 2523 23 200 500 2500 3680 278 571 2568 275 565 2534 75 65 34 200 500 1200 3630 303 613 1323 300 607 1309 100 107 109 200 500 1200 2500 3835 327 625 1338 2664 324 619 1324 2628 124 119 124 128 200 500 1200 194 507 1234 192 503 -8 1221 2542 21 42 depth meters ---------------------------------------------------------------------NS500 T/P CM ANCHOR NS1000 T/P T/P CM ANCHOR NT T/P CM CM T/P T/P T/P 1200 1500 1750 2000 CM 2500 ANCHOR ?
