low salinity readings, reliability of CT cleanings

On September 14th, 2009, Jack Stamates (FACE project) sent out an update about the Port Everglades CT.  He had noticed that the salinity readings had been unreasonably low, and in response he had contacted the dive company he was paying to do monthly instrument cleanings.

This resulted in an immediately resolution of the problem, and the CT salinity readings were once again reasonable.  It appears as though the contracted divers had not been adhering to the monthly CT cleaning schedule they'd agreed to.  Jack raised to issue to the awareness of the AOML dive collective and resolved to monitor the situation more closely from here on out.
