2008-11-17 01:00goesALL0Last goes transmission received.
2008-11-25 10:00ALLALL0Buoy damaged; tower missing. Last position 43 38.28N, 66 32.87W. Use caution near this location!
2009-01-17 13:00ALLALL Buoy ashore on Seal Island, Nova Scotia. Tower missing; surface current meter and doppler in cage.


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).
