Deployment 1: Recovered data should be used for analysis. Velocity data cannot be calculated from telemetered data because the beam information was not output.

During descending profiles, the vertical velocity estimates may be incorrect due to interference with beam 3 measurements arising from the nearby CTD sensor. Users should cross-compare these vertical velocity estimates with those derived from the CTD pressure record to determine profiles of possible concern. Good vertical velocity estimates will closely align with the CTD derived estimates. Regardless, there should be minimal impact on the estimates of the horizontal velocities. However, care should be taken with these estimates to confirm this conclusion.

UPDATED, 2020-04-15: Corrected algorithm has been uploaded to the system and is active. * The algorithm supplied by the vendor to calculate water velocities is incorrect. Corrected code is currently in review.

Telemetry was interrupted and no data are available via telemetry due to a time out error. The data files were too large to write and the system run out of time before it could get them through the inductive modem.

Deployment 9; During the times indicated by the start and end times of this annotation, the VEL3D instrument on the Profiler contained a firmware bug which caused beam 3 (downward-facing) to be on during ascents, and beam 1 (upward-facing) to be on during descents, instead of vice versa. Therefore the issue of incorrect vertical velocity estimates due to interference with the CTD noted in a previous annotation will affect the ascending profiles rather than the descending profiles.

For deployments 1, 6, 7 and 8 telemetered and recovered data have different timestamps and so data comparison could not be performed.

There are several days during deployments 1, 2, and 3 where recovered_wfp data are not available but telemetered data are available. These data should be available in the recovered_wfp data streams.
