Humidity diagnostics, cessation of communications

[This back-dated post is an excerpt from my Calabash Caye Evaluation Report, which was circulated on September 15, 2015.  The graph was added for purposes of this blog post and is not featured in the evaluation report.]

I also have RH reports from the Main junction box of the South Water buoy, which I believe to have been operating at a dock or possibly on land somewhere, and those values suggest a seal failure with RHs ranging between 50% and 80%. This buoy was online and reporting through June 25, 2015, at which time reports ceased for reasons unknown.

The X-axis is decimal years running from April/2014 to June/2015.  The Y-axis is percentage humidity ranging from 0% to 100%.  Click on the graph to see a larger version.
Note that there is no reported relative humidity (RH) diagnostic, which would normally be drawn in green, because at the South Water Caye station there is a communications failure between the Main datalogger and the Met Junction Box.
