Notes

Freshwater inflow not circled
As per green sheet: The YS1 was OFF in the box The 2 Oxygen modes were indicating 'over-range' so did the Salinity/EC testing, by then the meter was in range, and became stable. We calibrated and prepared to do the O2 levels, when the meter suddenly switched itself off. We remember that this meter behaved in this way some time ago.
