 CIS September 2006

9th July 2007 The mooring was serviced by the research vessel Maria S Merian.

 

May 2007 The electrical connectivity through the mooring cable appears to have further deteriorated and only the temperature and conductivity from the topmost microcat are being received.

February 2007 The electrical connection at 150m has failed and data is no longer being received via satellite from the deeper sensors.

November 2006 The CIS site has been experiencing gale force conditions since mid November. This has caused the satellite communication to be intermittent which is reflected in the patchiness of the data collected since then.

30-August-2006 Johannes Karstensen has sent this report:
I am happy to report that the CIS mooring was successfully re-deployed yesterday 29. Aug. 2006 and for the very first time we have access to on-line biogeochemical data (pCO2 and fluorescence) from the central Irminger Sea!!
According to the pressure data the mooring may be about 5 m too deep in the water (biogeochemical frame at 47m while target was 42m) - however, this could be the effect of the currents and we will know this only after a number of data points have been recorded.
The deployment went smoothly given the great support from the DISCOVERY personal and good weather conditions. To prevent the heavy corrosion that we experienced during CIS5 specific care was taken to 'seal' all places where different metals come into contact with Teflon foil or similar.
In particular this deployment is a success for Andreas Pinck and not to forget Michael Busack who worked hard to made the telemetry happen. Cross fingers that the CIS telemetry will be a follow up of the MOVE M1 which is online since about 16 month.
