NOTES: The PRR stopped working during the 1st day at Stn. ALOHA. The
       problem was traced to a corroded bulkhead connector on the
       underwater profiler. The power pin also broke off in the
       underwater cable. Everything (including the 200m underwater cable)
       was sent back to Biospherical for repair and calibration.
