Logger deployed Alvin (2007) Alvin (1999) Alvin (2007) Alvin (2007) Expedition 327 (2010) Expedition 327 (2010)
Pressure channels 2 2 3 4 3 3
Dedicated seafloor gauge Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Basement intervals 1 1 1 3 2 1
Gauge serial numbers 107549, 107550 62719, 62718 106844, 106855, 106856 107551, 107553, 107554, 107560 75738, 75739, 89098 94000, 94223, 93076
Isolated cased interval No No No* No* Yes (spot) Yes
Sample rate (s) 1 s 3600 60 60 60 60
Memory (Mb) 256 256 256 256 256 256

Notes: * = upper basement interval includes gap between 10¾ and 16 inch casing strings that is not sealed at the base. † = gauge currently being used for seafloor monitoring can be switched with wellhead valve to spot-check annular gap between 10¾ and 16 inch casing. Original Hole 1026B and 1027C CORKs were deployed during ODP Leg 168; Hole 1026B CORK was replaced during IODP Expedition 301. Logger deployments are most recent as of end of Expedition 327. Pressure gauges are identified by serial number from bottom to top, with seafloor at top where applicable. The old data logger in Hole 1027C CORK is not thought to be operating at present; a new logger is planned for deployment in summer 2011.
