2015-06-04 20:53ALLALL Redeployed by R/V Connecticut.
2015-07-20 00:40metwind_2_speed,wind_2_gust,wind_2_direction-4Primary Gill wind sensor has stopped reporting good data. Wind data from the backup RMY sensor continues to be valid.
2015-09-20 09:20metwind_2_speed,wind_2_gust,wind_2_direction-4Valid data from primary Gill wind sensor is being received once again.
2015-11-20 00:00aanderaacurrent_speed2Current speeds becoming erratic; need to closely monitor.
2015-12-04 23:00goesALL0Last backup Goes transmission received; primary cellphone communications working fine.
2016-01-13 00:00sbe16transmissivity52Transmissivity values starting to decrease - data questionable?
2016-02-14 10:10metwind_direction-4Backup wind direction flagged as invalid (probable icing problem with physical mount as offset is constant)
2016-07-08 01:32ALLALL recovered by R/V Connecticut


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).
