Sensor Information for UMOOS Mooring: A0102

Mooring History:

Date	Buffer Name	Data Type	Depth	Comments
2002-03-08 23:30	ALL	ALL		Redeployed at site A by R/V Argo Maine.
2002-03-08 23:30	met	wind_direction	-4	Wind directions believed to be reading 25 degrees too high, when compared with adjacent NOAA and GoMOOS buoys. Wind directions corrected by -25.
2002-04-13 17:00	met	wind_direction	-4	Magnetic variation applied to wind direction; all wind directions are now relative to true north.
2002-04-28 18:00	doppler	ALL	3	Doppler current profiler started to reset itself. Doppler volts/amps had started to drop prior to reset.
2002-04-30 06:00	doppler	ALL	3	Last buffer received from doppler current profiler.
2002-05-21 17:00	doppler	ALL	4	New doppler replaced old one that failed. Good data are being received.
2002-06-07 16:00	ALL	ALL	0	Experiencing problems with buoy's cell phone (buoy is not calling in every hour, but we can call it). Data are presently being received intermittently.
2002-06-15 00:00	ALL	ALL	0	Normal cell phone communications have been re-established with the buoy. All data OK.
2002-08-14 13:00	met	wind_direction	-4	Wind directions from A0102 have been corrected by 25 degrees to agree with adjacent NOAA and GoMOOS moorings. Wind directions from A0102 should be used with caution until post-calibrations are perfor
2002-08-30 00:00	sbe16	ALL	50	Data from 50m SBE16+ (water temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen) becoming intermittent.
2002-08-30 03:00	sbe37	ALL	20	Last data received from SBE37IM.
2002-08-30 08:00	sbe16	ALL	50	Last data received from SBE16+.
2002-09-07 12:00	doppler	ALL	10:4:126	Data from doppler current profiler at 4m is beginning to become intermittent.
2002-09-13 12:00	doppler	ALL	10:4:126	Last doppler current data received.
2002-09-24 18:00	ALL	ALL		Problems with cell phone communications on buoy. Only intermittent connections have been made with data logger.
2002-10-01 21:45	ALL	ALL		Recovered A0102.

Notes: Sensors highlighted in red indicate problems with this sensor during deployment. Depth is measured relative to the ocean surface with positive depths indicating depths below the ocean surface. Negative depths are heights above the surface. In the case of doppler current measurements, the depth indicates depth of first measurement:delta-depth:depth of last measurement. For instance, 10:4:106 represents currents measured every 4 meters from 10 meters down to 106 meters (28 depths in all).
