Sensor Information for UMOOS Mooring: M0127

Mooring History:

Date	Buffer Name	Data Type	Depth	Comments
2017-06-28 19:05	ALL	ALL		deployed by the vessel Warren
2017-06-28 19:05	met	wind_direction	-4	noticed 17 Jan, that secondary RMYoung wind direction is offset by about 30deg from primary. will reprocess.
2017-06-28 19:05	GOES	ALL	0	GOES is missing last buffer about 50% of the time intermittently through the day
2017-06-28 19:30	GOES	gps_2_lat,gps_2_lon	0	Backup Goes GPS positions not being sent back from control box.
2017-06-28 20:00	sbe37	salinity, conductivity	250	Conductivity appears invalid for 250m SBE37IMP (need to check instrument configuration, calibrations, and setup).
2017-07-17 00:10	met	wind_2_speed,wind_2_gust,wind_2_direction	-4	Data from primary Gill wind sensor appear too high and erratic; backup RMYoung wind sensor working properly.
2017-08-28 08:45	suna	ALL	20	last data from 20m SUNA
2017-09-02 03:36	GOES	ALL	0	GOES transmit time slipped 8 minutes to 36:30 from window of 27:15 to 27:30
2017-12-16 16:00	sbe37, SUNA	ALL		intermittent IM data begins (generally all instruments on the wire at once).
2017-12-19 17:00	sbe37	ALL	1	last data received from SM - note instrument has pressure-not being received.
2018-04-22 00:00	aanderaa	time	2	Instrument clock is drifting (now reporting outside expected window at minute 05).
2018-05-09 05:00	ALL	ALL	0	Goes tranmissions becoming erratic with bad checksums (3). First part of message and first 2 checksums are okay.
2018-05-16 05:00	ALL	ALL	0	Last Goes transmissions received from buoy (iridium phone still working).
2018-05-29 08:00	aanderaa	current_speed, current_direction	2	Last valid current speed and direction from surface current meter (signal strength too low, speeds high and erratic)
2018-07-09 12:11	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).
