2002-12-09 15:00diagnosticsgps_lat,gps_lon0Major failure with buoy. Winds, 2m currents, 4m doppler, 20m SBE37 and 50m SBE16 have all failed. Buoy position changed by 30 nm in 8 hours.
2002-12-13 20:15ALLALL-999Buoy recovered, sensors damaged, no anchor.


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).
