Who Description

Swapped sonde from Marvin_SERDP (00016B79) to Ford_SERDP (00016B55). Birds are still a
problem. We need to add a lower perimeter string.
2008-12-18 12:44 RN
Replaced Sonde lifting cable which had snapped or been chewed through. Cleaned platform
and added perimeter line to discourage birds.
2008-12-13 - 2008-12-15 RN
Short and missed casts. Looks like there was a jam on the spool which prevented the sonde
from getting more than .7m deep. At 03:58:00 on 12-15 there was a full failure which
dropped the sonde to the bottom. Either a line break or a winch failure is suspected.
2008-12-03 00:30 RN
Memory corrupted. Reloaded program. Name changed from AVP1_SERDP to Marvin_SERDP.
2008-12-02 12:56 JB
12:56 Swapped sonde from Ford_SERDP (00016B55) to AVP1_SERDP (00016B79). There was a
noticeable change in turbidity and chlorophyll values.
2008-11-25 00:30 RN
Turbidity readings invalid. Wiper may have parked on sensor.
2008-10-18 19:58 - 2008-10-19 07:53 RN
Platform crashed during initial lowering from home position to waterline. Once recovered
it acted as if nothing had gone wrong. Final cast was #217
2008-11-03 11:50 RN
Sonde swapped from SN 00016B79(AVP1_SERDP) to 00016B55(Ford_SERDP).
2008-10-14 07:30, 08:30 RN
It looks like wiper parked on turbidity sensor twice.
2008-10-12 10:12 RN
Erratic casts due to change in wind sampling rate. Cause unknown, but software change
will attempt to prevent.
2008-10-07 RN
Platform is having a great deal of trouble getting water depth. Could be due to fouling.
2008-10-07 10:23 RN
Sonde swapped from SN 00016B55(Ford_SERDP) to 00016B79(AVP1_SERDP).
2008-09-08 11:00 RN
Sonde swapped from SN 00016B54(Sassy_SERDP) to 00016B55(Ford_SERDP).
2008-09-05 RN
Replaced blue basket with black due to turbidity errors. Will need to post calibrate data.
2008-08-19 RN
Several short casts probably due to Pycnocline. Added code in version 1.53 to compensate.
2008-08-15 12:14 RN
Corrected earlier sample rate and ph MV issues. Data file corrected.
Turbidity sensor seems to be reading significantly different on new sonde. This turned out
to be due to blue paint on sonde cage.
2008-08-15 11:01 JB
Sonde swapped from SN (AVP2_SERDP) to 00016B54(Sassy_SERDP).
Sample rate set to .5 as a result of bug in data logger. ph mV also left turned on.
