Removed all faulty data. The loss of power also introduced a gap in the dataset. - Loaded MAWN Program, 1WO (hourly power cycle) [10:35] 11/21/2007: Station Maintenance (bn): - Replaced battery [15:40] 10/03/2007: Station Maintenance (sm): - Recent telecommunication problems (faulty cell-modem) have been corrected. Cell modem was replaced at 11:00am this morning (d=276). 06/13/2007: Data Management (jtb): - Data from CR23X datalogger that was pulled from the field was recovered. Data for the following time period was reloaded into the MAWN database: May 30. 2007 [22:05] - June 06, 2007 [12:45] Small gaps of missing data still exist due to periods of system work and hardware replacement. 05/24/2007: Station Maintenance (bn): - Telecommunications Troubleshooting: - Recent connection troubles continue which led to the replacement of the CR23X datalogger this afternoon. - As of 5:00pm, communications back online - Work performed: 3:45pm - 5:15pm 05/21/2007: Station Maintenance (bn): - Recent telecommunication trouble: - Faulty serial cable may have been the cause of recent telecommunication problems. Cable was replaced this morning at 11:00am. 05/16/2007: Station Maintenance (sm, bn): - Communication converted to broadband cell-modem: - Broadband cell-ip modem installed - Datalogger progam "mawn1wo" loaded and compiled. - Data collection configured to upload every 30 minutes. - General station maintenance and system checks. - Work was done approx: 14:00 - 15:00 (Day=136) ============================================================================== 11/30/2005: Station Maintenance: (sm): - Faulty Phone Line Was Repaired By SBC - Modem was showing signs of inconsistent behavior, so that was also replaced. - Battery had failed and was also replaced. Due to the battery failure, data for the following time period was lost: Day=329 (11/25/05) 18:15 - Day=334 (11/30/2004) 10:35 11/02/2005: Station Maintenance: (sm): - Checked/Cleaned Polyhouse sensors (107 Thermistor for Polyhouse Air Temperatures was covered with spider webs). - MAWN station and sensors checked.

It was determined that the Temp/RH sensor at the West Olive station has slowly drifted toward higher readings. The drift can be traced back to August 2004. Air Temperature and Relative Humidity readings between August 2004 - April 13, 2005 are not completely accurate and eventually may be removed from the MAWN database. ============================================================================== 08/04/2004: Station Maintenance: (crn, jal): - Replaced Anemometer - General Station Maintenance and System Checks: - weed removal and application of Round-Up above soil temps - tipping bucket rain guage checked for accuracy - Work was done approx: 17:45 - 18:45 (Day=217) ============================================================================== 11/28/2003: Station Update (jtb): - Replaced Modem. - Data Transfer from Station Reconnected with No Loss of Data. 11/14/2003: Communication Failure: - Failure to communicate with West Olice station since 17:20 (Day=318).
