Sensor Information for UMOOS Mooring: F0129

Mooring History:

Date	Buffer Name	Data Type	Depth	Comments
2016-10-07 13:10	ALL	ALL		Redeployed by R/V PISCES
2016-10-07 14:00	doppler	ALL	3.2	Data from doppler current profiler set to start sampling at minute 40 instead of minute 56.
2016-11-20 00:00	ALL	ALL	0	Last data received from both cell and goes - datalogger appears locked up?
2016-11-23 05:00	ALL	ALL	0	Data coms have resumed - both cell and goes reporting valid data once again.
2016-12-14 00:00	met	visibility	-3	Visibility data flagged as invalid (too low)
2017-02-09 03:10	ALL	ALL	0	All communications stopped from this buoy (no cellphone, no Goes).
2017-02-09 09:00	ALL	ALL	0	Normal communications resumed from this buoy (both cell and Goes). Note: visibility voltage went to a constant 4.9 after reading 0 for past few months.
2017-03-04 01:00	ALL	ALL	0	Last cellphone transmission from this buoy. Goes transmissions continue to be valid.
2017-06-01 15:15	ALL	ALL	0	New phone was installed in control box and complete data transfer has resumed once again.
2017-06-23 14:30	ALL	ALL	0	All communications failed for this buoy (both cell and Goes); probably data logger lockup.
2017-06-24 19:50	ALL	ALL	0	Buoy is sending valid data once again after probable datalogger lockup.
2017-11-20 09:00	goes	ALL	0	Last Goes transmission received from the buoy (cellphone still working). No errors in Goes transmit buffers.
2017-12-10 04:00	sbe37	salinity, conductivity	1	Conductivity values too low, flagged as invalid.
2017-12-19 23:30	sbe37	salinity, conductivity	0	Conductivity values appear okay once again; unflagged conductivity, salinity, sigma_t.
2017-12-29 08:20	met	wind_2_speed,wind_2_gust,wind_2_direction	-4	Primary wind sensor failed (all readings zero); backup wind sensor speed okay.
2018-01-24 13:20	ALL	ALL		Recovered by R/V Connecticut.

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).
