Sensor Information for UMOOS Mooring: I0129

Mooring History:

Date	Buffer Name	Data Type	Depth	Comments
2014-01-10 16:00	goes	ALL	0	Goes communications intermittent from this buoy (cellphone failed 23 Dec 2014)
2014-06-01 01:39	ALL	ALL		deployed by R/V Connecticut
2014-06-13 14:00	goes	ALL	0	Last backup Goes transmission received from this buoy (Goes GPS failure). Primary cell communications working fine.
2014-08-23 10:00	goes	ALL	0	Problems with backup Goes GPS continue with periods of no Goes transmissions. Primary cellphone communications are working fine.
2014-09-13 07:00	sbe16	ALL	87	Last data received from SBE16 at 87m.
2014-12-24 02:00	cellphone	ALL	0	Last call received from primary cellphone. Backup Goes working (a bit intermittent).
2015-01-15 11:00	ALL	ALL	0	Buoy battery too low; buoy is in low power mode and only sending limited surface data every six hours.
2015-01-23 10:00	ALL	ALL	0	Buoy battery has recharged enough to allow normal sampling and hourly Goes data transmissions (cellphone problems still exist).
2015-02-08 01:00	ALL	ALL	0	Buoy battery too low once again; buoy is in low power mode and only sending limited surface data every six hours.
2015-02-18 16:00	ALL	goes	0	Buoy battery has recharged enough to allow normal sampling and hourly Goes data transmissions (cellphone problems still exist).
2015-06-05 11:15	ALL	ALL		Recovered by R/V Connecticut. 87m SBE16+ cage damaged, probably during recovery with anchor buried in mud; transmissometer missing. 4 tower/buoy bolts missing; others look fine.

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).
