VMT 1168372 ID 26418 Deployed with glider

***No Aquadopp on this glider; leftover notes from earlier missions

Lithium Ion Mission

ru23 recovered by Tom W. and Bill B. out of Chincoteague. Nilsen S. was there as well.

2 hour missions

u_pitch_max_delta_battpos .05

yo: dive to altitude from 5 to 3.5 to get closer to bottom.

Changed TBDlist to only 2 downcasts of optics, and CTD to about half the segment of up/downs.

Altimeter working better, but has a bad hit early in the dive, it might be from over-pitching so may try to dampen the gains to help with that.

Re-tasked alongshore, inline with Chincoteague inlet

Assist altimeter: (over pitching a bit)
u_alt_reqd_good_in_a_row 2
u_pitch_max_delta_battpos .075

Some bottom sampling.

Perhaps should make it standard for shallow coastal gliders
reqd_num_hits = 2 from 3 for altimeters, perhaps even the filter too...

Re-tasked to 300 deg, WNW to see if we can get to Chincoteague and then onward

Switching to 3 hour surfacings

u_min_water_depth 15

5 off surface, 5 off bottom
from
3 off surface, 7 off bottom
(glider was breaching and flying not very close to bottom)

**NOTE: This glider does NOT have an AQD attached. That is a relic of the existing glider configuration.
