Deployment 1: Buoy log files showed that seawater was first detected inside the buoy well on 3/26/2015. Both leak detectors showed increasing presence of water over the period of deployment. Upon recovery of the mooring, no external damage was visible and the buoy did not appear to be floating lower than normal.

Deployment 1: Upon recovery, the bottom of the buoy was heavily biofouled with gooseneck barnacles. The barnacle coverage likely caused imporper sea water flushing at the location of the intakes and sensor faces for the subsurface instruments.

Deployments 2 and 3: Dissolved oxygen concentrations in the beginning of both deployments seem reasonable, then quickly decline. It appears that the biofouling of the surface buoy negatively impacted the quality of the data for both deployments. I compared the instrument data to shipboard data from D0002 (nbp1510_010.cnv) and R0003 (at3903007.cnv). The shipboard CTD data are not available for the GA3 cruise - R0002 and D0003 (these files should be uploaded to alfresco). From the comparisons I was able to do, it appears that the instrument was recording values within a reasonable range at the beginning of the deployment, and unreasonably low values at the end of the deployment (compared to the shipboard CTD data). These data should be annotated as suspect.

Data are unreasonable, likely due to biofouling (see other note).
