Mooring History:
DateBuffer NameData TypeDepthComments
2014-05-30 14:50ALLALL Redeployed by R/V Connecticut.
2014-07-04 08:00ALLALL0Buoy moved about 200m to the east during Hurricane Arthur. All instruments continue to report valid data.
2014-08-12 00:00goesALL0Backup Goes transmissions have become extremely intermittent (apparent problem with transmit antenna).
2014-08-14 01:00diagnosticsALL0Buoy moved about 1400m to NW over 18 hours ending 14 August 2014 around 1900z
2014-09-17 01:55ALLALL Recovered by R/V Connecticut. Tower had been damaged (broken solar panel, bent halo and lightning rod); chain wrapped around and entangled with anchor.


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).
