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. 

CRUISE SPECIFIC METADATA


Cruise Started
--------------

SCSACQ started 06/06/2006, 01:31:41z

6June06 02:15:01z ADCP started with deep_nobt.
6June06 02:25:35z TSG seawater supply turned on - leaving Honolulu Harbor.
6June06 02:37:00z Fluorometer started.

20June06 18:37:53z TSG pump reset because of ship's power outage at 16:10:19z.  Values from the TSG and Fluorometer between these times are inaccurate and should be disregarded.

22June06 10:38:53z Burst seal on the TSG caused the TSG pump to turn off. 23June06 02:15:18z TSG and Fluorometer secured for the duration of the cruise because of motor failure of TSG pump.  All TSG and Fluorometer values should be disregared for the rest of the cruise starting then.

Cruise Ended
-------------

04June06 01:44:28Z stopped ADCP.
