DateBuffer NameData TypeDepthComments
2021-06-17 02:45ALLALL Redeployed by R/V Connecticut
2021-06-17 02:45sbe37ALL10instrument mistakenly deployed at actual depth of 6.3m (from pressure sensor and confirmed on recovery)
2021-06-17 02:45sbe37ALL20instrument mistakenly deployed at actual depth of 16.3m (from confirmed on recovery)
2021-06-17 12:00metALL0intermittent missing met data at top of hour after datalogger program change. Corrected 3 days later.
2021-06-18 12:00ALLALL0high battery voltage seen on buoy during daytime. probably solar panel connected to battery directly
2021-08-17 22:33sbe37ALL1instrument stopped responding suddenly. No response to talkthrough.
2021-10-27 04:03optodeALL51data from instrument begins to be intermittent, stops completely on 2021-10-28 (storm). Physical damage, chafing, abrasions, copper foil missing
2021-11-02 11:58ALLALL Recovered by M/V Warren
2021-12-31 12:00sbe37ALL1no data available on recovery. instrument not able to upload records. requested recovery from Seabird


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).
