Background: the PacIOOS CTD had been redeployed with the rest of the station electronics on April 30th, 2013, but its turbidity and chlorophyll sensors (part of an integrated SeaBird unit collectively known as a FLNTUS) did not appear to be working properly. PacIOOS had requested that the Saipan team remove the FLNTUS on their next monthly maintenance visit, but on August 2nd as described in this update they ended up removing the entire CTD/FLNTUS package instead.
A few weeks later David Benavente provided the following update:
I got a hold of a multimeter and checked the continuity of the the FLNTUS cable. and 2 out of the 4 wires have continuity. port 2 and 4 didnt have continuity while port 1 and 3 were fine. So I guess we we could send you the FLNTUS cable and redeploy the CTD. If thats okay.
