Mooring History:
DateBuffer NameData TypeDepthComments
2015-11-04 01:55ALLALL Redeployed (turnaround) by R/V Connecticut
2015-11-04 02:00sbe37ALL180Data from 180m IM available via iridium but missing from Goes data stream (control box program needs to be modified).
2015-11-05 00:00waves_3mean_wave_direction_30Wave direction data from mstrain digital wave sensor appears noisy (180 degree changes wih tidal cycles)
2016-01-25 10:00sbe37ALL180180m SBE37IM data becoming somewhat intermittent
2016-04-09 00:00ALLALL0Buoy moved about 350m to NW during period of strong incoming currents.
2016-05-08 20:00ALLALL0Last data received from buoy due to problems with control box.
2016-05-10 16:30ALLALL0Control box program remotely recompiled and data flow has been restored (both iridium and Goes). No met, diagnostics or mstrain data available during the period with program issues (8/9 May).
2016-07-10 21:30ALLALL0Surface buoy has broken free from its anchor and is presently adrift (bottom instrument at 180m is still reporting).
2016-07-25 00:50ALLALL Subsurface float/release and surface buoy/instruments/wire/tethers were recovered by R/V Connecticut. Shackle between bottom of tethers and float was missing; no signs of damage.


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).
