Notes:

The flow meter data collected in the wet lab shows up throughout the cruise as intermittent, though this due to the cinching off of the flowmeter to provide more sufficient water pressure to the pCO2 sensor.

2018/04/18 approx 0200 UTC - underway system was secured to repair a leak on the discharge side of the pump. Flow was interupted for approximately 10-15 minutes only.  

2018/04/18 approx 1045-1100 UTC - underway system was secured to repair a leak in the Electrician's shop.Flow was returned approx 1115 UTC, though flow to the pCO2 system was low until approximately 1600 UTC, as represented in the raw data.

2018/04/20 0605 UTC - pCO2/SBE45/FLR all secured for experiment with adding in line pump for additional flow to PCO2. System restored at 0650 UTC

2018/04/21 0145 UTC - configurations were changed on the ADCP system to capture shallow conditions, changing bin sizes to 4m, 75 bin and blanking to 4m.  

2018/04/25 1900	UTC - due to heavy sea state, the incubator pump was secured for approximately 2-3 hours, and then brought back online though flow was interupted often from losing prime due to excessive air in the lines (bow thruster use)

2018/04/26 1600 UTC - due to a mechanical failure in the pump, the incubator system was secured for appoximately 2.5 hours for repairs and clean up.
