The location of all fixed equipment is recorded using a standard GPS so the accuracy should be within 5-10m using WGS-84.

Instruments are replaced and serviced at regular intervals. There is a single metadata record for each research trip with the deployment details for each of the sensors that make up the underway sensor package described in the metadata record.
