Subject: met station mmob03 (I think?)
Stephanie,
Here is something for your log:
The 3rd deployment of the Coastal Environmental weather station mounted on the MOBY mooring
buoy took place at 0921 23 January 2003 using the R/V Kaimikai-O-Kanaloa. All deployment
operations proceeded smoothly with the exception of a slightly damaged cell phone antenna
which was later replaced. The station began collecting data immediately with all sensors
operating as expected except for a troublesome WET Labs Wetstar fluorometer.
The system is equipped with two R.M.Young model 5103 anemometers, s/n 44265 and 44266, two
Vaisala Humitter 50YX temperature/humidity sensors s/n ?,?, a Seabird Electronics Microcat
IM37 temperature/conductivity sensor s/n 1503, one non functioning WET Labs Wetstar fluorometer
s/n WS1-054, one WET Labs C-Star transmissometer s/n CST-605PB, one Honeywell PPT barometer,
one Navico fluxgate compass and one Coastal Environmental Zeno-3200 data logger and software s/n V1.961_2268-1.0.
The correct wind direction is from sensor #2 and the data is being logged by GMT. The remainder of
the data from the previous deployment is now on the ftp space.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Stephanie,
I may have found the problem with the fluorometer, it was a formatting problem on my part,
it was only transmitting via cell phone one decimal. I changed the program to transmit
three decimal places, well see how it goes. I also noticed that there seems to be a
pretty steady degradation in the transmissometer signal, must be getting fouled.

Subject: more fluormeter
Stephanie,
The fluorometer data you have for this deployment, the past half day, is no good. This time it
is a calibration problem. I will try to change data logger to the correct values so that it will
output voltage this afternoon when the modem turns on. There is a ten minute window so it is
sometimes hard to catch.
Ill let you know when it is outputting voltage. The transmissometer is outputting voltage and Ill
work on getting you a conversion equation for both.
Terry
PHONE CALL FROM TERRY -------------------------------------------------------------------
14 Feb ~11 am Terry called and said he changed the Fluorometer to output voltage
WED 19-FEB-2003 (050) - A Driver on the MOBY SGI was corrupted and
therefore did not allow MOBY to dial-in. Ray fixed the
problem by rebuilding the driver on Sunday. MOBY dialed in successfully
on Feb 23 the 23 hour file.

Hey Steph,
We just got back from Maui and I did some cleaning on the optical instruments while we
were there, mainly the transmissometer. It was about 2300 on 3/5 gmt. It looks like
it did change something but I will have to wait and see when we get more data.

TUE 11-MAR-2003 (070) - Sunday 9 Mar the 23 hour file was not sent, on Tuesday I tried
to process the 10 Mar data and neither of the files were readable and the 23 hour
files size was 257281 instead of 255616. The Error message I got from READMOB_ was
??? In an assignment A(matrix,matrix) = B, the number of rows in B
and the number of elements in the A row index matrix must be the same.
Error in ==> C:\matlabR12\mldbase\instrument\MOBY\Readmob_.m
On line 366 ==> Xdat(1:fix(Blue_len/2),Vnum) = fread(fid,[fix(Blue_len/2),1],ushort)
When I went into readmob_ to find the problem the fix(Blue_len/2) was 131072 not 512.
No solution.

Subject: Re: MOBY
Aloha Steph,
We really need to know if the buoy is trying to call into the lab. I am unable
to call into the buoy. This has happened in the past and can last for many
days. In the past however, the buoy was calling out even though I was unable to
call in.
So, can Ray enable the diagnostics so we will know if/when the buoy calls?
As for the last buoy M222, The 22 hour MOBY acquisition was overrunning the
start of the 23 hour file for some reason. Dont know why yet. We will have no
23 hour files for the days you recieved 22 hour files.
