The Buccoo Buoy was inspected on 11 May 2015. While the anchor ropes and
metal base required cleaning, the sonde, probes and protective case
were relatively unfouled. Badic maintenace was conducted on the sonde. None of the probes required the copper antifouling tape to be replaced. The sacrificial anode was replaced.
A calibration was not conducted on this trip, and the sonde was cleaned and re-installed.
Data from the Sontek ADP was collected. The unit seems to be working fine and the data looks good.
The status of RMY RH sensor remains the same.
This site is for recording maintenance records of the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC or 5Cs) & NOAA CREWS station for data management purposes. Please update this blog whenever new operations are performed in the field, so that NOAA/AOML can coordinate data management efforts with the CREWS field efforts.

March 2015 maintenance - Angel Reef
ARTO1 was inspected ans serviced over the period 14-17 March 2015. Minimal cleaning was required at this site. Anchor ropes and buoy base were cleaned.
The copper coating on the sonde probes was still intact and in good condition and was not replaced. Calibration of probes was conducted. However, the sonde was in re-installed until a 7 days later. The probes were maintained in a moist environment until the sonde could bere-installed.
The RMY temp/RH installed the previous month was not collecting data. The unit was inpsected and reinstalled, but the problem persists. On further correspondence with C-ARMs two other options will be looked at to correct the problem.
The Sontek ADP was also deployed on this trip.
Cellular communication was confirmed, but no RF communication could be achieved on the day.
The next visit is scheduled for the end of May 2015
