Notes (11)
10 gmt = 6 am est - argos decodes to reported GPS, ARGOS position appears to be in right place so hopefully bad GPS
Also ru39, 40 analyze altimeter data for deep off shelf performance.
Also ru39, 40 analyze altimeter data for deep off shelf performance.
Bad altimeter performance, deep surface reflection.
Strange pitch response. Seems to be slowly resolving. Maybe hiccup with deadband?
All RUDICS gliders (not ru29 dod) sufferred iridium problems Th 6pm to about 3 pm Fri. Emails with iridium said RF noise problem but strangely issue got fixed within an hour or 2 of emailing them. All gliders switched to TWR for about a day.
FLBBCD calibration coefficients verified as correct.
CDOM values seem high/suspect compared to RU39.
Chl and BB values agree between RU39 and RU40.
