Times and Dates are 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.
SCS acquisition is stopped and restarted at 0000Z daily.  This creates daily files for all sensors.
!!!TSG temperatures are in ITS-68!!!

PROBLEMATIC SENSORS

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