OA mooring deployment notes @calibration -setup and prep #checkout Instruments: - CTD - sample interval - clock - logging started - poison cartridges - batteries - copper wrapping # conductivity near zero in air, high (what is normal?) in water # temp reasonable - pH sensor @ using CO2-CRM and temperature - output rate set (serial units) - batteries (2 X 3.6V lithium) - Fluorometer @ factory set # check low(dark) and high(fluorescent stick) response - Optode @ zero with Sodium Sulfite @ saturation span with bubbler - output rate - new foil? - copper wrapping # reads 100% in air, less in water - VR2C - batteries - update "map"? - clock - not in standby/storage mode # check test tag - CO2 system @ zero and span at ocean-like temps @ temp-CO2 relation using zero and span gasses at range of temperatures @ generate fit using matlab script - leak check - transparent equilibrator water level - same pressure after closed loop pumping - desiccant refilled - soda lime refilled # pressure readings >85kPa # zero +-15 ppm # air ~420 ppm # standard known value - Airmar @temperature calibration against neighboring stations - output interval - GPGGA and WIMDA messages on # gets a correct fix # reasonable wind direction Hardware: - Water pump -plumbed to necessary sensors (ph, optode, flour) #comes on with optode driver - Radio #check comms #leak check - Buoy light -configuration? #check its working - Rechargeable battery pack -all batteries charging (check error codes) - Solar panels -test voltage from each panel with others dark - Custom-made cables -locking sleeves -lubed - VR2C cable protective hose (for chain section under float) - Anti-corrosive disks (base of mooring float) #visual check - Clamps for instruments -everything snug -plumbing tied down -bolts greased - Cotter pins for shackles (wrapped in heat shrink)--Jared F can help make more if needed - new nilspin cable - Anti-fouling paint for float - Check and replace or grease all-thread bolts - Make new lifting line - New anchor if old anchor being recovered - New chain and shackles (when turning around)
