Sensor Information for UMOOS Mooring: I0132

Mooring History:

Date	Buffer Name	Data Type	Depth	Comments
2016-11-08 16:05	ALL	ALL		Control box swap by R/V Osprey.
2016-12-30 00:00	diagnostics	gps_lat, gps_lon	-3	No valid GPS positions being received; gps fix times have been invalid since control box swap
2017-01-11 00:00	ALL	ALL	0	Data communications have stopped (both cell and goes), possible problem with data logger.
2017-01-11 11:00	ALL	ALL	0	Data coms have resumed - both cell and goes reporting valid data once again. No data collected during period of no communications (data logger lockup issue suspected).
2017-01-19 02:00	diagnostics	gps_lat, gps_lon	-3	Valid GPS data being received once again after talkthrough; fix time however is still invalid.
2017-02-16 23:00	diagnostics	gps_lat, gps_lon	0	Primary GPS positions are not getting updated; backup Goes GPS positions continue to work.
2017-03-03 09:25	ALL	ALL	0	Apparent problems with control box starting at this time - no data being collected, no cellphone or Goes transmissions being received.
2017-03-03 19:30	ALL	ALL	0	Normal communiucations restored on this buoy (10-hour gap in data).
2017-03-28 01:00	suna	ALL	50	Last data received from 50m SUNA nitrate sensor.
2017-04-14 16:30	ALL	ALL	0	Last data received from buoy (missing on both cell and Goes transmissions).
2017-04-15 00:25	ALL	ALL	0	Buoy resumed transmissions on both cell and Goes (7 hour gap for all data indicates that logger may have locked up).
2017-04-15 15:30	ALL	ALL	0	Last data received from buoy (missing on both cell and Goes transmissions).
2017-04-16 06:30	ALL	ALL	0	Buoy resumed transmissions on both cell and Goes (15 hour gap for all data indicates that logger may have locked up while retrieving mstrain wave data).
2017-04-30 11:00	sbe16	ALL	87	Last data received from 87m SBE16+ with transmissometer.
2017-05-03 07:26				last data received from GOES
2017-05-27 01:06	sbe37	ALL	20	Last data received from 20m SBE37IM. Talkthrough attempts did not solve the problem (suspect instrument has problems and is not internally recording any new data).
2017-06-13 06:00	aanderaa	ALL	2	Last data received from 2m surface current meter.
2017-12-09 08:06	sbe37	ALL	12	Last data received from 1m SBESM. Talk-through showed a clock drift of 2 minutes but instrument was still running and logging data. Clock adjusted and sampling restarted but still no data.
2018-01-05 15:34	ALL	ALL		Last data received from buoy (missing cell transmission, Goes failed in May 2017).
2018-01-10 08:00	ALL	ALL		tower reported as broken and in water by fisherman.
2018-03-24 14:15	ALL	ALL		Recovered by R/V Connecticut. Mooring wire parted during recovery and the 50m IMP and SUNA (along with chain and anchor) were not recovered.
2018-12-18 06:00	waves_3	ALL	0	Last data received from test directional wave sensor.

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).
