Mooring History:
DateBuffer NameData TypeDepthComments
2014-06-02 17:12ALLALL Redeployed by R/V Connecticut.
2014-07-17 05:00wavesALL0Last data from microstrain directional wave sensor.
2014-08-21 17:35wavesALL0Microstrain directional wave sensor swapped out from R/V C-Bold. New sensor working fine.
2014-09-12 13:30ALLALL0Buoy has started to move slowly to the west. After watching positions, it is clear that the buoy has broken free from its anchor - all data continue to report (including 87m SBE16)
2014-09-14 22:15sbe16ALL0Last data received from SBE16 at 87m.
2014-09-19 15:45ALLALL Recovered by R/V Connecticut at 43 22N, 69 57W (buoy adrift). Shackle below 87m SBE16 cage was completely missing.


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).
