Mooring History:
DateBuffer NameData TypeDepthComments
2017-11-28 16:10ALLALLlast data from buoy (during testing in warehouse) - datalogger froze with phone on
2017-11-30 16:10ALLALLdata resumed (logger was manually reset) note this is testing in buoy barn
2017-12-08 20:10ALLALL Redeployed by R/V Connecticut.
2017-12-13 23:08ALLALL0Last data received from buoy (both cell and goes failed). Note phone was on when logger locked up (23:08)
2017-12-15 13:00ALLALL0Buoy resumed normal operations, calling on both cell and Goes after a complete data logger reset was done remotely.
2017-12-31 15:54metwind_2_speed, wind_2_gust,wind_2_direction,wind_2_-4Last data from Gill wind sensor. Likely flooded during icing conditions.
2018-01-02 00:00metwind_direction-4RM Young wind direction becoming erratic, changing offset from expected values
2018-01-03 23:00metbarometric_pressure-3pressure sensor problems begin - over voltage, then undervoltage. likely sensor was flooded during icing conditions.
2018-01-10 01:00metbarometric_pressure-3last valid data received from pressure sensor (-- likely flooded during icing condition.
2018-01-11 17:10ALLALLlast data received from buoy (both cell and GOES failed) note phone was off.
2018-01-25 17:30ALLALL Recovered by R/V Connecticut (control box had failed).


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).
