2002-04-10 17:00metwind_direction-4Wind Direction corrected by adding 90 deg offset (sensor not mounted correctly on mast)
2002-04-11 03:00metwind_direction-4All wind variables read 0, sensor failure.
2002-04-11 03:00metwind_speed-4All winds variables read 0, sensor failure.
2002-04-11 03:00metwind_speed_max-4All wind variables read 0, sensor failure.
2002-04-13 17:00metwind_direction-4Magnetic variation applied to wind direction; all wind directions are now relative to true north.
2002-04-19 16:30metwind_speed,wind_direction-4Wind sensor replaced

2002-09-11 18:00optics_dALL18Last data received from deep optics (18m).
2002-09-11 19:00sbe37ALL50Last data received from 50m microcat
2002-09-17 15:00optics_sALL3Mutiple messages per hour being received from surface optics package.
2002-10-02 15:55ALLALL Recovered B0102.


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).
