Mooring History:
DateBuffer NameData TypeDepthComments
2019-06-05 18:35ALLALL deployed by the R/V Connecticut
2019-06-10 12:00waves_3ALL0Microstrain wave data locked up several times during deployment.
2019-06-14 05:00goesALL0Goes transmissions becoming very intermittent - signal strength dropped from near 40 to 30 or below.
2019-10-03 09:00waves_3ALL0Microstrain failed (invalid clock data). When restarted on 2019-11-07, clock had not advanced. Timestamps are wrong use data with caution.
2019-10-03 18:00metvisibility0Vis sensor started reading continuously high at about 1800, flatline ever since
2019-10-10 20:00sbe3720instrument stopped reporting. unable to communicate with it. clock time shifted just before going off air
2019-11-01 09:00ALLALL0Buoy dragged anchor 50m to ENE during coastal storm.
2020-01-24 01:20metwind_direction-4Wind direction from RMYoung backup wind sensor is invalid (compass failure assciated with blown met fuse).
2020-02-04 20:00sbe37ALL1Last data received from 1m SBE - all data sent back are zero.
2020-06-02 12:35ALLALL instrument swap by RV Osprey


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).
