added PakBus modem - loaded logger program: esc-bbac ============================================================================== 10/02/2017: Station Maintenance: [1200] - some on-site electrical work was performed, but did not impact most sensors, but some faulty precipitation data appears to have been introduced (was removed on 10/03/18) ============================================================================== 04/04/2017: Station Maintenance: [1300] - 120VAC power line repaired - solar panel charging system repaired ============================================================================== 12/09/2016: Station Maintenance: [0830] - replaced solar panel charge system with 120VAC power supply. 02/23/2016: Station Maintenance: [1900] - replaced faulty battery 01/21/2016: Station Maintenance: [0900] - replaced faulty battery ============================================================================== 12/10/2015: Station Maintenance: [1500] - logger battery replaced 03/05/2015: Station Maintenance: [0006] - loaded logger program "mawn_abcf" (hourly collection cycle) ============================================================================== 12/19/2014: System Maintenance: [0004] - loaded logger program "mawn_abcw" 12/04/2014: Station Maintenance: - faulty battery replaced 02/28/2014: Station Maintenance: [1204] - Moved data-collection to new LoggerNet server - Loaded logger program: ABCF (hourly cycle) ============================================================================== 12/15/2013: Station Maintenance: [0900] - Logger battery replaced. 11/26/2013: Station Maintenance: [0005] - Loaded Logger Program "ABCW" (3-hour collection cycle) ============================================================================== 12/04/2012: Station Maintenance: [1325] - Replace wireless broadband modem 12/03/2012: Station Maintenance: [1555] - Added "hourly battery voltage" to hourly database table 07/01/2010: Station Maintenance: [0900] - Routine maintence, including: - removed debris from tipping-bucket rain gauge ============================================================================== 03/11/2009: Station Maintenance: [14:27] - Installed wireless broadband modem (Cell-IP). - Loaded MAWN Program "ABCF" (hourly power cycle). - Non-responding soil moistures sensors corrected. However, soil moisture data is not available during the following time period: 07/21/2008 (d=203) 16:00 - 03/11/2009 (d=070) 16:00 ============================================================================== 11/18/2008: Station Maintenance: - "Winterized" the tipping-bucket precipitation gauge (the frozen precipitation extension filled with anti-freeze). 07/21/2008: Station Maintenance: - Data logger and short-haul modems were replaced at 15:45. - Data collection restarted. - Due to recent logger failure, data was lost for the following time period: 07/07/08 (d=189) 22:05 - 07/21/08 (d=203) 1535 ============================================================================== 06/29/2007: Station Maintenance (rm): - General Station Maintenance (Calibration) - tests indicate that the tipping-bucket rain gauge may be underestimating precipitation amounts. - tipping-bucket was calibrated this morning, but it appears that additional testing may be needed (number of clicks not equal to expected amount) - precipitation values in the database may need to be adjusted (values may be 20% lower than what was actually observed). ============================================================================== 06/09/2005: Station Maintenance (sm): - General Station Maintenance and System Checks: - mounted precipitation bucket on new post - cleaned/checked precipitation bucket - reinstalled soil sensors - cleaned/checked entire system ============================================================================== 10/01/2004: Data Transfer Adjustment (sm, jtb): - New set of FTP scripts installed to work with PC208W. Should elimiate need to make local updates (truncate) raw data file. Two new scripts installed/configured: mawnftp: (ftp recently collected weather data) mawncopy: (creates backup of raw data file, truncates original file, transfers backup to server) - Work was done approx: 13:30 - 15:00 (Day=275) 10/01/2004: Station Maintenance (sm): - General Station Maintenance and System Checks: - Replaced Anemometer Bearings [~ 12:45]. - Checked Temperature/Relative Humidity Sensor (HMP45C). No need to replace as this sensor was calibrated in 03/2004. - Checked Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge [12:30]. - Repaired Station Grounding. Connection was loose at grounding rod and grounding wire inside datalogger was not connected. Both were corrected. - Work was done approx: 12:20 - 12:50 (Day=275) 03/10/2004: Station Maintenance (crn): - Site Visit/Spring Maintenance - Sensor Check: All OK ============================================================================== 06/17/2003: Data Collection and Data Archive for new station begins First report: Jun 17, 2003 - 00:05 (Day=168) 06/16/2003: New Station Installed: Notes: - leaf wetness B (canopy) - still needs to be installed. - Data Logger Program Loaded: MAWN1C Additional Station Needs: ==============================================================================
