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.

Deployment: 2

There are no data available for download from this deployment. According to the ingest csv, data aren't expected because the DCL failed. This should be annotated in the system.

Per vendor feedback, the first 1-2 min of each OPTAA 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. Users are encouraged to delete the first minute of data, at a minimum, from each measurement burst and then calculate a median average of the remaining data from the burst before working further with the OPTAA data.

The high voltage lines providing power to the MFN via the CVT for CE09OSSM-00004 shorted out on 2017-01-22 at 08:31 UTC. Sea state was high, but not unusual for this time of year. Disabled future power scheduling to the MFN and applied an override to disable the CVT. No further data will be logged from the instruments on the MFN. This affects:
On DCL35:
* ADCPS (had already failed upon deployment)
* PCO2W -- should continue to autosample
* PHSEN -- should continue to autosample
* PRESF -- should continue to autosample
* VEL3D -- should continue to autosample
On DCL37
* CTDBP (plus DOSTA) -- should continue to autosample
* OPTAA
* ZPLSC -- had stopped reporting data early on in deployment, may still be autosampling

The high voltage power supply providing power to the seafloor dataloggers and instrumentation failed for reasons unknown at this time. No further telemetered data will be available for this deployment.

Power to the seafloor sensors failed. With the exception of the VEL3D and OPTAA, the sensors on the seafloor platform should continue to autonomously sample for the remainder of deployment. Until we recover and redeploy the mooring in the spring of 2020, no further telemetered data will be available from the seafloor sensors.

Due to a bug in the mooring telemetry system, data during this time range was not telemetered to shore. It was recorded on the mooring and instruments and will be available in the recovered data streams.
