Per vendor feedback, the first 1-2 min of each AC-S instrument sampling period should be considered suspect. Signal drift can occur as the instrument warms up, flushes with seawater, and the filter wheel spins up.

All seafloor Multi-Function Node (MFD35 and MFD37) instruments have ceased data telemetry because the seafloor multi-function node had a high voltage ground fault and has been shut down to protect the instruments.

Deployment 11: *UPDATED 2020-06-22: As of 2020-05-05 the ISSM MFN is back online in a reduced power usage mode. All MFN instruments will be powered on and sample 4 times a day (as opposed to 6 times a day). Data from this instruments will be telemetered home with the exception of the OPTAA which will only be availabe upon recovery. *UPDATED 2020-04-27: The MFN has been offline since 2019-01-03 and no telemetered data are expected from MFN instruments for the remainder of the deployment.*MFN offline due to power shortage after WT2 failure from 12/27/2019 to 12/30/2019 and again from 1/3/2019 to 1/6/2019. Instruments with external batteries will continue to log data internally.

Deployment 11: UPDATED 2020-04-27: As of 2020-03-12 telemetered data for most instruments are being sent home via Iridium. A gap in telemetered data is expected between 2020-01-08 and 2020-03-12 and will not be backfilled but these data will be available upon recovery.* As of 2020-01-08 both fleet broadband telemetry pathways have failed and data can no longer be telemetered to shore from this mooring. Instruments will continue to log data which will be available upon recovery.

According to Roesler and Barnard (Optical proxy for phytoplankton biomass in the absence of photophysiology: Rethinking the absorption line height, Methods in Oceanography, 2013), “absorption meters are highly prone to biofouling, particularly biofilms which not only attenuate the collimated beam but also impact the scattering properties of the optical surfaces and tubes. In productive coastal waters biofouling can have significant impacts (i.e. 10% of the signal) within one to two weeks”.

There is no pressure variable in the .nc files. This should be a coordinate.

recovered_host data aren't available for download from deployment 1. According to the ingest csv, the raw data files aren't expected. This dataset should be annotated to explain why the recovered_host data aren't available.
