Mooring History:
DateBuffer NameData TypeDepthComments
2015-12-13 18:40ALLALL deployed by FV, towed from Rockland
2015-12-13 19:00waves_3mean_wave_direction_30Wave direction data and tilt from mstrain digital wave sensor appears invalid.
2016-02-10 12:00ALLALL0Cellphone transmissions are somewhat intermittent (typically misses 1-3 hours per day)
2016-06-27 07:00diagnosticsgps_lat,gps_lon0Last valid GPS position received from this buoy.
2016-10-28 18:10ALLALL0Last data received from buoy and the phone has not registered since the last transmission.
2019-06-02 20:00ALLALL Attempt to recover buoy, tower and instruments. Dragging successful only for bridle, wire rope and tethers along with Nortek. One release responded to release command but did not come to the surface


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).
