Times and dates in UTC

GENERAL
Depths are below the transducer and uncalibrated.
Sounders are not manned 24hrs a day.
ES60 Depths may be output from 12kHz, 38kHz, or 200kHz
No offset table for transducers exists.
NO settle and squat table for the ship exists.
Fluorometer outputs uncalibrated raw fluorescence.

PROBLEMATIC SENSORS
The Trimble GPS often has outages of several minutes.
TSG and Fuorometer systems becomes air contaminated in the heavy weather and during manouvering. This may effect conductivity/salinity and fluorometer measurements.
It is highly recommeded that temperature and salinity and fluorometer values be plotted to assure data is good before being used.
