Sensor Information for UMOOS Mooring: F0122

Mooring History:

Date	Buffer Name	Data Type	Depth	Comments
2011-01-05 02:25	ALL	ALL		redeployed by R/V Argo Maine
2011-01-05 02:25	ALL	ALL		redeployed by R/V Argo Maine
2011-01-21 18:00	met	visibility	-3	sensor reads continuoulsy low after storm and cold snap
2011-06-20 01:00	goes	ALL	-3	Last GOES transmission received (problem with GOES GPS). Cellphone working okay.
2011-06-23 06:04	doppler	ALL	-4	Doppler reset; data offset by 8 minutes (starts min 04 instead of min 56).
2011-09-19 08:00	doppler	ALL	4	Last data received from doppler current meter (major battery failure).
2011-12-15 00:00	aanderaa	ALL	2	Aanderaa data questionable and has been flagged as invalid (speeds too low?).
2011-12-15 03:00	goes	ALL	0	Goes transmissions becoming intermittent (GPS problem?).
2011-12-25 21:00	goes	ALL	0	Backup goes transmissions have essentially stopped from this buoy. Cellphone working okay.
2012-02-03 20:00	diagnostics	gps_lat,gps_lon	-4	Last valid GPS position received from this mooring.
2012-02-03 20:30	sbe37	ALL	20	Last data received from 20m SBE37IM. Inductive cable coupler apparently damaged during vist to rebattery RDI doppler but the instrument should still be recording data internally.
2012-02-03 21:15	doppler	ALL	-4	External battery and new cable has restored doppler data. Data from bins below 75m are very spotty and somewhat erratic (bins 1-17 okay, 18-23 have been flagged as invalid).
2012-03-06 17:30	ALL	ALL	0	Cell phone communications failed for data logger. Cause is under investigation, but we hope to have data restored from this buoy before 20 March 2012.
2012-03-12 21:05	ALL	ALL		Old control box UMECB121 removed.

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).
