2006-04-09 18:45ALLALL redeployed by NOAA Ship Delaware II
2006-04-29 14:00goes_txALL0Last goes message received; CDMA phone working okay.
2006-05-09 20:00sbe37ALL2020m SBEIM appears to have changed from 20m depth to just above 50m SBE16+ (slid down the wire). Confirmed on recovery.
2006-06-04 21:00dopplerALL3.2Doppler clock reset (averaging period starts at minute 05 instead of 56)
2006-07-08 13:00optics_sALL3Data from surface optics becoming intermittent
2006-08-30 08:00ALLALL0Cellphone data transfers becoming very intermittent. Problem could be with CDMA service or buoy phone system.
2006-08-31 00:00ALLALL0Cellphone data transfers working steadily once again.
2006-09-13 19:10ALLALL Recovered by R/V Argo Maine.


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).
