WPB-04 was deployed on 10 July 2000 at 44° 03.32´N and 068° 59.83´W, outside of Rockland Harbor, approximately 1 1/4 nautical miles east/southeast of Monroe Island. The water depth was approximately 110 meters. The ADCP showed 24 good bins with the deepest bin centered at 102 meters. The data logger stopped transmitting on 22 April 2001. The mooring was recovered on 7 July by the R/V Connecticut.

Mooring Information:

• Latitude: 44° 03.32´N
  
• Longitude: 68° 59.83´W
  
• Depth: 110 m
  
• Light List: G
  
• Recovered: 7 July 2001
  
• Comments: Very heavy fouling of all near-surface instrumentation
  
  

Instruments:

• RM Young Wind and Air temperature sensor S/N 33668 (okay throughout deployment)
• 300kHz RDI Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler S/N 619 (failed in April 2001), 4-meter bins
• FSI 3D-ACM S/N 1609 (failed in December 2000)
• Seabird SBE-1603 Seacats at 1 m (S/N 1568), 8 m (S/N 1923, condunctivity failed after June 2001) , and 40 m (S/N 0733, conductivity failed after September 2000). Data are recorded internally and will be available after the mooring is recoverd.
