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.
!!!TSG temperatures are in ITS-68!!!

PROBLEMATIC SENSORS

The Trimble GPS often has outages of several minutes.
TSG and Fluorometer systems becomes air contaminated in heavy weather and during maneuvering. This may effect conductivity/salinity and fluorometer measurements.  It is highly recommended that temperature, salinity and fluorometer values be plotted to assure data is good before being used.  Heavy rain will also effect salinity SETTE's Deck Weather log reflects current conditions.
