2009-09-17 16:05ALLALL redeplyed by R/V Argo Maine
2010-02-27 20:20metvisibility-3Visibility readings too low; flagged as invalid.
2010-04-12 14:00ALLALL0Last cellphone transmission received from this buoy. Secondary GOES transmissions continue to be okay.
2010-04-13 20:00ALLALL0Normal cellphone transmissions have resumed; all data appear okay.
2010-05-06 21:00aanderaaALL2Last valid data received from 2m current meter.
2010-05-14 14:00aanderaaALL2Data being received again from 2m surface current meter (external battery added).
2010-09-26 15:00sbe37salinity,conductivity,sigma_t20Last valid data received from 20m conductivity sensor; flagged as invalid.
2010-12-09 00:00dopplerALL4Doppler current profiler battery dropping; may fail within the next week.
2010-12-28 03:00dopplerALL4Last data received from doppler current profiler (battery failed).
2011-01-04 21:15ALLALL Recovered by R/V Argo Maine.


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).
