145 E Stations (SM)

[mooring systems]

SM1 [33-59.4N, 145-00.3E, Water depth 5742m]

(1) 1500m (2) 1900m (3) 2900m (4) 5700m

One-day current and temperature data obtained through low-pass (nearly two-day) filter. Current vectors are shown by stick diagrams. Temperatures are shown by red lines.

SM2 [31-01.1N, 145-00.8E, Water depth 5963m]

(1) 1200m (was reliesed and began to drift in one month)

(2) 1600m (3) 2000m (4) 3000m (5) 5930m

One-day current and temperature data obtained through low-pass (nearly two-day) filter. Current vectors are shown by stick diagrams. Temperatures are shown by red lines.

SM3 [27-59.9N, 144-59.8E, Water depth 5726m]

(1) 1100m (2) 1500m (3) 1900m (4) 2900m (5) 5700m

One-day current and temperature data obtained through low-pass (nearly two-day) filter. Current vectors are shown by stick diagrams. Temperatures are shown by red lines.
