To correct this problem, the stanard leaf-wetness sensor was replaced this morning (10:15am) 08/03/2007: Data Quality Control (jb): - Faulty precipitation data that was introduced on July 31 (day=212) was removed from archived raw data file. Entries in MAWN database were also corrected. 07/31/2007: Station Maintenance (sm): - Sensor Calibration/Testing: - Manual test of precipitation bucket. - Testing led to introduction of fauly PCPN data at 825 (five-minute), 900 (hourly) and 2400 (daily). 07/11/2007: Station Maintenance (bn): - Sensor replacement: - Soil Moisture A and Soil Moisture B both replaced (CS616) - Datalogger progam "mawn1c" loaded and compiled. - General station maintenance and system checks. - Work was done approx: 14:00 - 15:00 (Day=192) 05/09/2007: Station Maintenance (sm, bn): - General station maintenance and system checks. - Work was done approx: 13:40 - 14:20 (Day=129) ============================================================================== 11/21/2005: Station Maintenance (mh): - Recent data loss due to existing battery being sensitive to cold weather which would cause the battery to periodically fail. - New battery was installed this morning. 09/30/2005: Station Maintenance (mh): - Funnel to the tipping bucket on the rain gauge was plugged. Debris was removed and obstruction was cleared this afternoon (09/30/05 - Day=273) 06/22/2005: Station Maintenance (sm): - General Station Maintenance and System Checks: - weed removal and application of Round-Up above soil temps - cleaned/checked all sensors - cleaned/serviced precipitation bucket - approximate time of service: 1:15pm =========================================================================== 03/14/2005: Station Maintenance (sm): - Datalogger Failure on Day=67 (03/08/2005). Datalogger Program MAWN1B reloaded at 14:30 on Day=73 (03/14/2005). Data collection once again operational. - Due to Datalogger outage, data for the following time period is not available: Day=67 (03/08/2005): 04:15 - Day=73 (03/14/2005): 14:25 ============================================================================== 08/25/2004: Station Maintenance (jal): - Replaced Temperature/Relative Humidity Sensor (HMP45C). - General Station Maintenance and System Checks: - weed removal and application of Round-Up above soil temps - Work was done approx: 14:05 - 14:20 (Day=238) 05/24/2004: Station Maintenance (sm, jal): - Replaced Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge. 05/04/2004: Station Update (crn,sm): - Leaf Wetness B (canopy) sensor installed. The sensor was placed in a shrub planted near the foot of the NE leg of the station. ============================================================================== 04/08/2002: Daylight Savings Time Adjustment. - Daylight Savings Time Started on Day=97, Time=200. - Time of Obs were modified by one hour (forward) from Day=97, Time=200 through Day=98, Time=1225. 11/01/2001: Field Work: (Jeff Andresen, Jim Brown) - Installed Pressure sensor. However, no changed made to datalogger program so pressure is currently not being recorded. - Relocated Leaf Wetness A: Bracket mounted 40-inches from center of tripod, 39-inches (~1m) high. Mounted on NE leg, sensor facing north. 10/30/2001: Daylight Savings Time Adjustment. - Daylight Savings Time Ended on Day=301, Time=200. - Time of Obs were modified by one hour (subtracted) from Day=301, Time=200 through Day=303, Time=900. 04/10/2001: Field Maintanence: - Reburied Soil Temperatures - installed in SW quadrant of station: Soil A: 2-inches under sod, W of S leg, N of Soil B Soil B: 4-inches under sod, W of S leg, S of Soil A - Buried Soil Temperature Probe (Horizontal Placement) is SE quadrant of station: Soil Moisture A: 10" depth, E of S leg, facing south - Moved Pyranometer Stand to face SW (originally was oriented to the SE). - Needs: Leaf Wetness A needs to be moved to standard mount on NE leg. Additional LeaF Wetness (Sensor B) Additional Soil Moisture (Sensor B) NOTE: Current Soil Moisture needs to be switched in the datalogger. Sensor A should be buried at 4" and Sensor B should be placed at 10". 04/05/2001: Daylight Savings Time Adjustment. - Daylight Savings Time Started on Day=91, Time=200. - Time of Obs were modified by one hour (added) from Day=91, Time=200 through Day=91, Time=1500. Observation Times, including times of max/mins were modified. 10/29/2000: Daylight Savings Time Adjustment. - Daylight Savings Time Ended on Day=303, Time=200. - Time of Obs were modified by one hour (subtracted) from Day=303, Time=200 through Day=303, Time=1500. Only Observation Times were modified, not times of Maxs and Mins. Users will need to take that into consideration when using this data. 04/21/2000: Fennville station added to MAWN database 04/19/2000: Station Update: - Uploaded Program: mawn1b (10:26am) - Test Tipping Bucket (10:50am) - Moved Soil Temps from SE corner to SW: Soil A: 2-inches under sod, W of S leg, N of Soil B Soil B: 4-inches under sod, W of S leg, S of Soil A - Notes: Soil Moisture A = E of S leg is bent. Need two new soil moisture probes, additional leaf wetness sensor, and need to move Pyranometer to face to the SW. Leaf Wetness A is mounted at the end of NW leg at a height of 20.5". May need to moved to standard install off of NE leg (40" from center of tripod, 39" high). ==============================================================================
