Sensor Information for UMOOS Mooring: A0136

Mooring History:

Date	Buffer Name	Data Type	Depth	Comments
2016-07-07 20:20	ALL	ALL		deployed by the R/V Connecticut
2016-07-07 21:00	ALL	ALL	0	Wave direction and tilt invalid from microstrain directional wave sensor.
2016-07-07 21:00	accelerometer	ALL	0	Wave data from summit accelerometer flagged as invalid (invalid memory address in data logger program).
2016-09-11 00:00	sbe16	ALL	52	Data from SBE16+/trans at 52m becoming intermittent.
2016-10-01 00:00	ALL	ALL	-4	Intermittent spiking seen on primary wind sensor (Gill), generally observed at speeds > 25 kts.
2016-12-10 00:00	ALL	ALL	0	Backup GOES buffers became corrupt despite valid checksums.
2016-12-12 00:00	ALL	ALL	0	Primary cellphone tranmssions stopped from the buoy. Attempts to contact the phone were unsuccessful although phone was visible on the AT&T network.
2016-12-15 21:06	ALL	ALL	0	Normal communications resumed from this buoy (both cell and Goes).
2017-01-30 14:00	sbe16	ALL	52	Last data received from 52 SBE16/transmissometer. Talk-through attempts showed a response from the SBE44 but nothing from the SBE16.
2017-02-19 05:40	met	visibility	-3	Visiblity sensor flagged as invalid (reads too low).
2017-03-25 00:00	met	wind_speed,wind_gust,wind_direction	-4	Data from backup RMYoung wind sensor appears erratic (noisy and too high).
2017-05-22 00:00	aanderaa	current_speed, current_direction, current_u, curre	2	Speeds appear nosiy and erratic.
2017-06-22 18:30	ALL	ALL	0	New program loaded into control box remotely; valid accelerometer wave data being received now from this buoy.
2017-06-25 16:07	sbe37	ALL	20	Last data recorded in post-recovery 20m SBEIM (realtime data stopped 27 June 2017).
2017-06-27 16:11	ALL	ALL		recovered by the vessel Warren

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).
